Default So I just recieved an email from myself...

Just checked my email, and an email was picked up as spam. I did a double take, as apparently it was sent from my own email address to myself. What does this mean? Has someone gotten hold of my address and is using it to send spam? Have I opened something I shouldn't have, and now have a virus or whatever you call it when someone uses your address? I never open things from people I don't know, and I use Kaspersky to filter my email, so usually everything just ends up in either the spam folder or gets deleted completely, so can't see how that would have happened.

So the question now is what do I do about it, and can I stop this from happening again?

Really have no clue where to go from here, but am about to google and see what comes up.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

*edit* apparently it's just spamming, but nothing I can do about it. Freaked me out for a second, but generally harmless albeit annoying. And a real piss off that my email can be used like this
