Hi.. I have an @blueyonder account.I have had four instances in the last 2 weeks where I have apparently sent myself an email." All headed 83% off "
I did not send them and Blueyonder has marked them as spam.
How is this possible...I thought all email accounts were unique , I certainly have not sent an email to myself.
Have run a number of self diagnosis and anti virus tests nothing odd appears.I have Zone Alarm and AVG installed
Has my machine or email account been hijacked?? any help or advice il be much appreciated.

I occasionally get the same. I just "spam/junk" them.

Yep, I get them too, just ignore, you havent been hijacked or anything, spammers can replicate e-mail addresses 
You can have a go yourself if you like, there's a few websites that do it but have a disclaimer at the bottom to tell the recipient that they havent really just received a summons from HerMaj@Buckspalace.co.uk for a private dinner with her and phillip
