Junk e-mail sent from myself?

I am getting junk e-mails that say they are sent from me? How can that be
and what can I do about it? I can't block the sender or sender domain
because it is from me????

Spammers seldom use correct return addresses unless they want to use
any bounced mail to help figure out which of some addresses they have
guessed actually reach someone. Looks like you are getting junk from
one that wants to prevent you from blocking it by using the same return
address as the address the mail was sent to.

Look for a word or a phrase in the body of thejunk mail that isn't likely to
be used by anyone you want email from. Then click Tools, then Message
Rules, then Mail, then the box before Where the message body contains
specific words, then the box before Delete It, then scroll down and click
the box before Mark in as read, then the box before Stop proceesing
more rules, then the box before Delete it from server then the blue contains
specific words, then type the word or phrase, then click Add, then OK, then
OK again, then OK again. A web site mentioned only in such junk mail is
a good word to use.

Since I seldom send email to myself, I made a message rule that
diverts messages with my From address to the Junk E-mail folder.
