Default Tackling OE spam in my name

Hello. Spam messages appear to be going out from my OE account to a random
variety of addresses. The "From" part of the messages employ the second part
of my e-mail address ) but the first part is usually just a
jumble of random numbers.

These messages are either going to random non-existent addresses or they are
being blocked by spam filters. Either way they bounce back to me and I am
sick of it.

Is there any way I can stop these messages being sent?

Also, I have been thinking of cancelling my OE account since I rarely use it
for genuine mail (99% of my Inbox is spam) and I use a web-based e-mail
program for most of my mail needs. How exactly do you cancel an OE account?

Many thanks

JOHN
