It's doubtful that they're actually running through your computer...unless you're running linux and a mail server on the system. If so, turn off the mail server.



It's actually quite easy for someone to hijack your email address. All they need to know is your email address. If they're running a mail server, they simply compose the email using your email address and drop it into the outgoing mail folder. Then out it goes....
