Hi bargoz.

In fact you cannot do too much. As e-mails work, anyone can send an e-mail with your address as a sender.

If you experience this problem, I would suggest to change your mailbox password (to make sure nobody has access there) and contact you mailbox provider, what options can you set on their site or servers.
