I'm getting a lot of these too. I don't understand. I have not blocked it but on my email it is very easy to unblock.

call your telephone people or internet server. They can walk you through it. Our phone company will send out their telephone guy and he'll help you. It is most likly an easy fix. Our server has a program that I use. The only mail I get is people I have on my "allways allow list" Otherwise it all goes into my "spam" folder. Then I check it for other email I want or just delete it.
not sure if I explained it verywell but I'd first call your telephone co.

I got the same thing and i blocked it. What i'm blocking is the from mail which is showing as my mail addy. Regular mail comes in as long as it doesn't show it FROM my e-mail addy. It won't interfere if it's to your addy.

Thanks everyone for the help.
I appreciate it!

My question is, how does anyone manage to use my address to send their smut.

You can always get a new email address. Or block the subject it has.

Ivamae, they are not using your e-mail. See the link below about e-mail spoofing.

I was getting those too. I just blocked my email addy if it was in the "from" line. I don't send emails to myself.
I don't know what email client you're using, but you should be able to unblock your block by going back to where you did it.

I use Outlook Express and had the same thing happen so I blocked my own address. I can unblock it at any time. It doesn't affect getting your regular emails, just the ones 'from' yourself.
