Email sent to others using my email %26amp; ip but not from my computer how can i fix this?
I guess it is a question of security.





--Who is the vendor you are using? If the vendor/email hosting company does not have a good infrastructure you will have issues were hackers can find a way to get usernames and passwords





--How do you implement security. Do you type your passwords in front of others? are u slow to type it in? is your password long with different letter and symbols (atleast 1 symbol and number)





--How they are using your IP address is a mystery. Are you an important person? Do you send important emails? If that is the case somebody is using some some sort of a spoofing mechanism.





you need to enhance your security in any way possible.





Good luck. Hope a good security expert answers your question with specific steps.
Reply:if its coming from your IP address, then its obviously someone in your house hold is doing it. Or... your on a wireless network and its unsecured and someone hacked into your information.





Or your connecting to an unsecured network and they are hacking u...





either way... someone who has access to the internet source is doing it and you have to stop it
Reply:Hi,





To see what is going on, turn on FULL Headers display so you are able to track down where this email was send from.


You are able to fill in the sender field (from who the email is coming from) with any name you want. I suppose this has been done by someone just to fool you.

Reply:I've seen this, Try to disconnect your pc, and see if it stops. If it did, a malicious spambot is doing it. Try downloading a cleanup tool to remove those malicious files.
Reply:Someone can hack your email id and password, but it is not possible to include your ip address.


Change your email password. Don't let any one access your internet connection or computer.
Reply:Have you been at any other computers besides your personal one? You may not have logged out from another computer or someone has your passwords. Make a new password that uses a capitol letter and a number!
