I use Gmail, I get an incredible amount of mail in Spam, from ‘me’, below is the info and advice from Google help, which I have followed by regularly forwarding the full header (spam) messages to the address they give. Meanwhile I am alarmed that the email address of my website is being used by spammers to send penis enlarging treatments:) CAN YOU HELP BY SUGGESTING A SOLUTION?
Google’s info and advice:
There are messages in Spam from ‘me.’
One common tactic used by spammers is to send a message to a recipient, and fake the ‘From:’ field to contain the same address. Spammers hope that because the mail is sent ‘from’ your address, it will slip past our spam filters. But not so fast! Gmail authenticates all of our mail, so we know when a message wasn’t actually sent by you.
Because Gmail replaces your email address with ‘me’ when you look at lists of messages, you may see spam mail from ‘me’ in your Spam folder. All this indicates is that someone forged the return address on your messages to be your own email address.
If we miss any messages, we ask you to report them by checking the box next to the unwanted message and clicking Report Spam at the top of your inbox, or by opening the message and clicking Report Spam at the top of the message.
You can help stop spammers by also sending the full headers of these unlawful messages to the Federal Trade Commission at spam@uce.gov.
REPORTING TO THE ABOVE HAS NOT DIMINISHED THE SPAM GOING OUT WITH MY FORGED ADDRESS, HELP!
