My email account is being used to send spam. What can I do?

Hi

My email address is being used to send spam, mail is being sent from my account and is getting blocked by servers and bounced back to me - or at least that's what I assume is happening as I get undeliverable notifications in my inbox about email 'I have sent'.

What can I do to combat this? Aside from scrapping my email adress? And can anyone explain what's actually happening, and how to interpret header information properly (as I guess it's false?)

What about if I get a new email address and have mail forwarded from my old email to the new account? Or would that just mess up the new one as well?

Thanks in advance
