Downloading the usual 50 odd spams a day, noticed two now that apparently come from me!
if i try to use eliminate spam (which I normally think is great) it bans emails from me.

Probably will do this as dont often send email to my own account!
Any thoughts/ suggestions

This once happened to me, although on a slightly larger scale. Some utter cad decided it would be great to use my personal email address to spam _from_. It's easy to fake a sender, anyone can do it. It was just picked at random, happens to some poor sod every day. Imagine my surprise at two or three thousand bounced mails coming in over a couple of days.
