I get a lot of messages, over time, that say that they are from me. Inspection of the message source almost always reveals that someone else sent them.

First check: do any of these appear in your "Sent" folder?

Second check: if you get one of these messages, use ctrl+u to see its "source". There will be a lot of technical jargon stuff, but look for the "From:". It will often have your name but someone else's email address. This item is fairly easy to falsify, so a spammer can insert stolen addresses. He won't put his own there.

Many spam emails hide their true source by using others addresses.

Some e-mail providers have the option to sort incoming mail. Contact your e-mail provider for help.
