Thank author of this post/comment"Sending Email Address"

There is basically no system of authentication for a senders email address, that means anyone can send an email that appears to be from you!

There might have a problem in your own email account but I am not so certain about it. If it is scam you better ask the administrator regarding this matter.

I also hate receiving spam which I don't really need or subscribe. I wonder how I can stop them because I'm afraid it might mess up my own account.

I usually forward them to spam but I want to get rid of them totally.

A bot has hacked your mail account and is spamming any email address you have come in contact with, including your own. Best to change addresses to stop this from happening.

Thank author of this post/comment"sendmail"

Read the sendmail manual page... here are a few of the options:

-Ffullname

Set the full name of the sender.

-fname Sets the name of the ``from'' person (i.e., the envelope sender

of the mail). This address may also be used in the From: header

if that header is missing during initial submission. The enve-

lope sender address is used as the recipient for delivery status

notifications and may also appear in a Return-Path: header. -f

should only be used by ``trusted'' users (normally root, daemon,

and network) or if the person you are trying to become is the

same as the person you are. Otherwise, an X-Authentication-

Warning header will be added to the message.

Another usage could be:

/usr/sbin/sendmail -t

From: anyemail@address

Subject: I am emailing myself

Reply-To: anyemail@address

To: anyemail@address

This is an email to myself

[EOF]

It is exactly that easy to send an email from someone else (or from the person you are sending it to).

Wake up and smell the coffee
