Typical spammer trick, Paul. Not much you can do about it. This particular spammer is probably using software that always inserts the recipient's email in the sender field - but some spammers will spoof your email address too. Not much that you can do about it. As you probably know, edsnetworks.net has IP 207.150.192.12. The email you received came from IP 144.136.145.174 which is currently listed in Spamcop - http://spamcop.net/w3m?action=checkblock&ip=144.136.145.174 So basically, even if the spammer does use your email address to send out spam to others, no one is fooled. You can report/complain to the ISP if you want, but with the Spamcop history it's likely that someone else already has. Not much else to do other than click the delete key. -Abigail PL> I checked the headers of the mail and it appears that I am the sender of PL> that mail though it's not MY name that appears.
