Re: Help: my e-mail address is being spoofed by a spammer!

Hi Geoff,

I had the same thing happen to me last year.  All of a sudden, I was 
getting spam addressed to me From me.  My wife was getting spam 
addressed to her from me.  It would have been so bad except the spammer 
was selling time-shares to a sex club in Mexico.  Identifying the 
spammer as junk mail wouldn't work because that would send all mail 
addressed to me to the trash.  It took a little over a month for things 
to clear out.  Luckily, I didn't get listed as a spammer and I didn't 
loose any work or friends over the episode, but it was embarrassing 
especially when my 75-year-old aunt mentioned she got the email.
