the problem is not the spam. the problem is a few days back I have sent some email from this email account to some hotel in usa regarding some issue. - and now i am forced to think how my email was leaked to this spammer guy?
1. hotel PC is infected and malware stealed my email id.. most possible - so which malware/botnet is sending these emails.

2. or way to US is infected .... :-)
