I've seen multiple complaints posted on Gmail message boards and yet the problem HASN'T been solved and keeps recurring.

| Re: Spam email sent from my account | cahubble08 | 4/26/09 11:47 AM | I've shut down POP access to my account... will see if that helps... but I doubt it... it just burns me up that Google refuses to respond to emails and won't provide a customer service phone number... who does that? |

| Re: Spam email sent from my account | Joshua | 4/26/09 12:18 PM | @stepp2, you are correct that google has a complete and accurate (as far as I can tell) response to this problem at the reference below. As to why google can't simply drop these messages, its because it is not at all uncommon for people to send them |

| Re: Spam email sent from my account | Joshua | 4/26/09 12:52 PM | @cahubble08: Take a deep breath and try to relax. As described in the article that has been posted three times to this thread, there are two possibilities: 1. Your address was spoofed by a spammer; or 2. Your account was compromised by a spammer and |
| Re: Spam email sent from my account | Chuck Nozzle | 4/26/09 2:20 PM | Try checking the Vacation Responder under the Settings in Gmail.

As Joshua said, messages can appear in Sent Mail if they are "from" your address, even if the header is spoofed. We hear you |

| Re: Spam email sent from my account | shaheerk | 5/3/09 10:15 PM | Maybe this should help: THISISASPAMTACTIC Does that make any sense? This question has been asked a numerous number of times, and the only answer to this is that this is a way of trapping email users into more spam. |
| Re: Spam email sent from my account | nolo | 5/19/09 6:16 AM | The best advise I ever received about spam/security is that it requires a multi-layered routine in order to be more effective.

| Re: Spam email sent from my account | shaheerk | 3/7/10 12:27 PM | That's spam.
