GSV,

Thanks for that, I thought they had gained access to my computer somehow and
were using it to send spam.

GSV Three Minds in a Can said:
from the wonderful person said:
I received the following e-mails which says it came from my e-mail
address???? which it has not. I have replaced the real mail address with
"mymail".

Its spamming a loan company

How have they done this?????

They faked the from, and reply to, addresses .. not uncommon in Spam.
Obviously you can't do this via a decent ISP's SMTP server, but there
are plenty of ways available to the unscrupulous (i.e. spammers). If you
stick the raw text (headers + email) into spamcop.net you can a) find
out where they really came from, and b) report them.

the first one needs to go to (e-mail address removed):

Obviously you can't do this via a decent ISP's SMTP server,

Of course you can. Check your e-mail.... :)
