RE: appropriate response for mail break-in

["Behm, Jeffrey L." <BehmJL () bvsg com>]

Are they actually using your account, or just spoofing the MAIL-FROM entry
in the header (Trivial to do).

I guess the question is, What leads you to believe they have "hacked" your
email account? 

If it is of the trivial email header spoof, then reporting it to CERT would
not be fruitful, nor would changing your email password.

I personally have received email addressed to me, from me (with the header
spoofed). The delete function is typically how I deal with that.

This is off topic. Someone is using my account to send me mail with
binary
attachments.  I have contacted my provider and  asked to change my mail
password. I have sent on the message header to them. What is the next
best
step?  Do I file a report with CERT? Any thoughts?
