Hello Jim,

JF> Yes, I've also been getting spam addressed from myself.

Actually, I think the spam-from-yourself routine is a trick
that is created by the sending software, so that everyone is
getting spam from themselves -- so for those particular
spams, others are probably not getting that.  Spammers do it
basically because most people don't block out their own
email addresses, so it is one more possible way of getting
through.

JF>  if others are getting spam with my
JF> address, can I get on a blacklist?

Not unless the spammer also forges headers to make the email
look like it's coming from the IP that corresponds with the
email address. RBL blacklisting is done based on the IP info in
the headers, not on domain names in the email.
