[Solved] My email address sending spam...

Receiving spam from one of my email addresses...

 

What do you suggest so as not to get blacklisted?

 

I have changed my password but not sure that will make any difference.

 

Here is the raw source from email...

We don't own that IP (it's somewhere in Vietnam), which means you're the recipient of the spam, not the sender. A lot of spammers do this...they put the recipient in both the From and To fields to hide their origins. The recipient receives a mail that appears to have been sent to themselves.

 

The domain they want resumes sent to resolves to an IP in Indonesia (a world-leader in Phishing operations), so I'm not surprised. The MX records for that domain point to mail.swisswatchshop.info, which in turn points to a server in Russia.

 

TL;DR: Someone sent you phishing email. Just delete it.

Thanks, appreciate the response... and the explanation!

No problem. I was confused the first time I got one too...that was back before I was here and I had no idea how it happened either.
