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.

Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

you cant do anything about it. The problem is that AOLs SMTP server doesnt require authentication.

Bummer. Thank you.
