Help! My email is being spoofed

Jarmusch · 2008-11-04, 09:37 AM

I was under the impression that most of these spoofed emails were sent only to the owner of the email address as a way to get his attention and make him open the email. I too get a few of these now and then but I made a filter that sends any email with my address in the 'From' field straight to the trash and never worried about it.

Is there a way to know if these spam emails are actually being sent to others with your email address on it other than receiving complaints?
