I get an email apparently sent from my own address. For example, my address is, lets say, george@george.net The email as shown in the headers is as follows: (sparing you the men's health html content....)
-- SNIP --
Is this just innocent spam, or has the account been compromised?
It is most likely that your email address has been harvested from a website somewhere (mailing list archives, etc) and is being spoofed to send out spam [0]. It is quite unlikely that the account has been compromised.
Thanks,
