it must not be nessarily from you,,, anyone can use your email address.
Using a false sender address in email is as easy as using a false sender address in postal mail... just write it at the letter or the email. To proove that, you need the ip address of the email, which is coded into the header, a reverse lookup might reveal that email comes from other country, other provider or something. Maybe a different computer has got a virus or any spammer is lending your email address. Thomas Quester www.olfolders.de "T" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

are they spam messages or legitimate messages from you to others?

They are legitimate messages. I sent my son and son in law a message and
two of my other contacts received it too.

No. I have rules to block some incoming senders. That is all. Today I did
a detect and repair to set to default settings. After the process was completed, my wife sent me an e mail and I got it...plus my friend in my address book received it too? I am totally confused as to what is causing this. I sent my son an e mail and asked if anyone else received it, please let me know. I'll know later today.
