This is off topic. Someone is using my account to send me mail with binary

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?


When you say "Using my account," are you saying "the mail looks like it 
comes from me," "the mail path is exactly the same and the message IDs 
look like mine,"  "same path, different message IDs," or "heck if I know 
what the deal is here?"

If you post the full headers, we might have something to work with.
