I have been getting junk emails in my bulk folder, but some of them have my email address. If you click reply, my email shows up. How does this work? I would love to block them, but then I would be blocking myself (I do occasionally send myself emails or files from another computer).

Hi
Open up the email.
Look In the area where it shows the email address of the sender, then under that email address you should see your email address also.
But just right click on the email address of the sender and in the drop down menu you will see it says Block Mail then left click on Block Mail.
If this doesn't work then maybe I am not understanding the question.

It's a tactic that spammers have used for some time now - where the sender of the mail also looks like it's coming from you.
If someone has any idea how to combat this, I'd love to know as well.
With several domains that we own, we must rotate on someone's list somewhere because we'll get a bunch for a short period and then they dry up (thankfully).
