Manuel, Karen is correct. My contact list has only 2 e-mail addresses of
members of this forum but several (that are not) have received e-mails with my
address on the body of the e-mail and they are all coming from overseas domains
and not from mine.Looks like a contacts list has been hijacked that contains
names of many members of this forum, but again, since those names are not in my
own contact list, it would appear that it is not mine.I have been blocking the
domains of the fake e-mails at the IP level as they come and it seems to have
stopped the great majority of them...I have no known friends or business
acquaintances in Eastern Europe so blocking that entire section of world is not
a problem for me.

I disagree, Manuel. This does not mean that Javier has been hacked. What they
do is to use your address name, but with a different @ address. Most people
don't look at the @ part of it, just see the name they recognize and assume
it's a good email. There's nothing anyone can do about that. Passwords have
nothing to do with it. If someone was to hack MY contact list, they would get
the names of everyone, attach a fake @ address, and then send an email to
everyone else on the list using those contact names because there's a chance
people would open it. But people whose names are in the email address are not
the one who got hacked. It's the person who had the contact list.

Hello Javier,
I have received several, more than six, emails with your name as the sender
over the past 1-2 months. I suspected it was not you on the very first because
by knowing you, via your posts, you would not send an email asking to click on
a criptic link.
I looked at the header and saw weired emails with an .eu ending. I believe
this to be "european union" which is another name for Russia.
This has to be very fustrating since it may affect communication with your
customers. You been hacked and I will pray for you that you will find the way
to solve this issue.

I know at least one member of the forum received an e-mail with my e-mail
address in the body of the text. I did not keep his name or e-mail in my
contacts so I know it did not come from my Outlook contact list. I know other
associates have received similar mails and I am not sure how this happened, the
sender appears to be a UK domain. I have contacted my email provider and all
the proper security measures have been taken and I have scrubbed all my
computers using 3 different anti-virus packages.
In any case, my emails always include a signature block with my information
(see below) which sometimes includes my company information as well, so if you
received one that did not include this information, you can safely assume it
did not come from me.
Amazing that we still do not have the tools to properly eliminate this type of
issues.
