Spam help...it's coming from me...

Well, I'm not much of a webmasater, but I'm willing to learn...

I'm having some email troubles. Basically, I'm recieving spam from myself. It's a little more than just my email address in the From: line, the return headers are the server itself and my account name (like myaccount@server111.thehost.com).

Everything is managed by CPanel as best as I can tell (at least from my end of things).

My two guesses are:

1) somebody has my email account login/password info...but this would not explain why the return header is the server would it?

2) somebody has my FTP account login/password info...and they login and run things straight from the server - or worse, they let a virus do the work...

I don't want to say who my webhost is so as not to tarnish any names or reputations because all in all they have been really great.

Any ideas or thoughts about what I might do (on my end) to prevent the spamming?
