I have been receiving messages from a spammer who has spoofed my email address to be the sender and the receiver. How do I find out where this is really coming from? I can't just hit the spam button (AOL) because it will put my own address as the spammer. I have copied and pasted the mailing info below. The return path is me, but it shouldn't be.

Thanks.

you cant do anything about it. The problem is that AOLs SMTP server doesnt require authentication.
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.
