Peace be upon you all,
when I opened my yahoo inbox folder I found a lot of auto response messages from people in my contact list came to me as a response to a message I sent to them,
and when I opened my sent folder to see when and how I send this mail to the people in my contact list,
I discovered that a kind of spam is sending mails from my account to selective members of my contact list, the message header is "Good day!!!"
and the topic is:

As long a they use another computer than your own for sending these messages.
This week I started to receive spam messages from myself. It will go on for a while and then stop.

TOPIC STARTER | Another computer than mine!!!! | Nov 29, 2008 |
Thanks Heinrich for your reply, but I cannot get that, what do you mean by using another computer than mine for sending, I didn't consider this option at all, for I saw the sent items folder and found those spam mails which means that it was sent from my PC, (That's what I thought)
how come someone sends mails from my mail box using another PC?
does it mean that he knows my password, or what, Please illustrate?
Thanks

Hi, Mahmoud,
It's probably a good idea to report the incident to Yahoo! - if you haven't already, that is. Also, have you had a look at the Yahoo! Mail section of Yahoo! Answers, in case other people have posted about the same problem?
Best wishes,
Caryl
