Resolved Question: Why do I get spam that appears to be from me?

Lately in my Yahoo inbox I have received mail where the sender shown is my yahoo email account ID. These messages are of the type I would never send to anyone, and I am afraid that others could get them and it would appear to them as if I sent them. As a test, I sent a message from my yahoo email to my yahoo email, and my name appears as the sender, (not the email ID). Can anyone tell me how I can stop receiving this mail that users my ID as the sender or how I can report it to Yahoo so they can prevent it?

Resolved Question: Yahoo Answers keeps sending multiple emails?

Recently I had an answer of mine chosen as the best answer by another user and was notified via email over 30 times over and over again. You can see on the timestamps where each message was sent within five minutes of the next…and it’s still doing it! I’ve since received two other batches of 30-40 emails all notifying me of my answer being chosen as the best for that one particular answers. In total, it’s almost 100 emails in two days. How do I get it to stop? I’m tired of sifting through countless emails to get to the relevant ones, but don’t want to list it as spam and have all yahoo answer emails blocked. I’ve tried contanting Yahoo about this, but apparently they don’t answer questions unless you’re a small business owner. Any help (beyond the painfully obvious like “why don’t you change accounts”) appreciated. I really don’t want to lose this account b/c I’ve had it for almost 8+ years and I have a lot invested in it: subscriptions, contacts, etc…
