Spam being sent from...myself?

[Guest]

How do I stop spam which seems to originate from my own internal e-mail
address? I've tried to add the sender to the "junk e-mail" category, and
Outlook wouldn't let me.

I'm assuming that our company server, or my desktop, has been infected with
something and takes in the spam, then sends it from "me" to "me". I'm
running Norton Antivirus and Ad-Aware SE Personal, but they haven't alerted
me to anything.

Any help would be appreciated. I'd rather not get any more pictures of
Anna-Nicole Smith.

I would wager the mail isn't actually coming from your machine, but likely
coming from an Internet address where someone has managed to take up your
email address and is using it in spam messages, or it could very well be
that someone who has your address in their address book is infected and the
virus is using that address book for sending spam and using the addresses in
both the To and From fields. If I were you, I'd contact my mail
administrator, who should ask for the email headers and verify that the
message is not originating from anywhere on your internal network.
