Never ever reply to a spam message, however tempting it is. If you reply, the spammer knows that the account is alive. They will either send more emails to it, or they will use the address to spam others, making them think the emails came from you. In your case, I believe that's what happened. I doubt you will be recovering your account, but you can try following the instructions at those two places: http://bit.ly/cz5knz http://bit.ly/9HGXiu Also try "Ask a question" at the first link. They may be able to help. Hello Joey. Never ever reply to a spam message, however tempting it is. If you reply, the spammer knows that the account is alive.

Hadn't thought of that. But I have one claim: how do I know you are not yourself a spambot trying to harvest people's mail addresses? I'll let this one slide, giving you the benefit of doubt...

At times, from mailing lists, they just send an email to the list truncated headers. Yet, we can still fight the spam. It is not always automated.
