email spammer

[AceKicker]

Has anyone ever received email spam where the spammer is using your own email to spam? Does this mean that the spammer somehow has hacked into my email server or is he using some sort of email cloaking to hide his own email address?

Yes I've had it lots. Anyone can set their 'reply-to' email address to any email, and also fake their 'sending' email address so you'll receive tons of replies and/or failure notices to your email in response to the spammers dirty work
