I received an email from my own email address with this link:
http://www.theemailadvertisingco…
Is this ilegal? Can I stop this? WTF!!!

I've been getting the same for months now.
cunts.
I checked google a while ago about it but it looks like there's precious little that we can do.
- van_rijn0
nope. cant stop it
but do not know the legality
- OSFA0
should I send an email? How do they get access to your account and email from there??? How do I know they are not emailing ilegal shit from this address?
FUCK!

Don't panic.

dont think they get access to your account, they just make the 'respond' address the same as the 'to' address.

They're not *actually* mailing from your addy. The concept of e-mail has been shit from the start, making all of this easy as pie.
You don't have to be a tech weasel to make it look like an email is coming from somewhere it's not. Just go into your profile and edit the addy. As long as your SMTP is legit, it can be fuck all in the profile settings.
My addy was stolen a few years back to send out viruses to hundreds of thousands of people. You would think I got a bunch of threats in return...

Welcome to the internets.
Watch your backside and keep your powder dry.
Whatever the fuck that means.

I know I sounded like an amateur but I was confused and pissed when I saw my email this morning.
Thanks blue, I'll keep my backside dry
- TheBlueOne0
Ah! Yes..a key point I overlooked..nothing worse than a moist backside.
*just grossed myself out typing that.

It's dead easy to send an email from whoever you want in PHP and most scripting languages.

if you view the full headers of a message you actually sent and one with a spoofed return address, the difference will be apparent

Haha, when I come down to Tampa next you do know that I basically only go to bars and seldom do anything non-drinking related?
