    Obviously I'm not sending them! I've changed my password but they still keep coming. Is there any way around this? I don't want to change my e-mail address.

    no same thing happened to me but it came from one email account to the other. I suspect some kind of phising or something.

    Also friends sending spam Instant messages while they are offline.... so odd, does it mean they have a virus?

    The email aren't actually coming from your email account, but probably from a script on a website. It's not a security issue with your email provider, and you've not been hacked or anything like that.

    If possible, set up an email filter to forward all messages from you@you.com to your junk mail.

    I can set up the filter but I really don't want these e-mails to be sent in the first place! Is there no way of stopping them? The latest one was sent from this address: Return-path: <studyskills@esatclear.ie> with the 'from' my e-mail address. Is this where they're coming from and is it as simple as contacting BT and getting this stopped or would this be one of a multitude of addresses used?

    There's no way really to stop them. It's like someone sending you a letter and putting your address on the back as a return address.
