Spoofed: How do I report SPAM email that looks like it came from my own account?
It’s happened a couple times. I get a SPAM message in my SPAM folder that has my own Yahoo address as the return address. When I open the full header, it has something different. Should I be concerned that my account has been infected?

Anyone with a separate email program can use any name or address for the FROM address. I could change my name and address in seconds in Thunderbird to anything. It in no way indicates a problem. Spammers do it to keep mail from being returned to them. There is no way for you to stop it. You also can’t mark it as spam or you block yourself.
