How do I stop my Gmail account from sending spam?
I’m not convinced by what the above posters have said, if as you say the account is “sending spam to [your] address book.” Because I can easily send an email to someone and make it look like it came from you [what vsync suggests]. Also, if I’m spamming *you*, I can make it look like it also came from you (as if you were emailing yourself a note) to try and beat the spam filters. But if your records show that spam is being sent to a range of people you specifically know, from your Gmail contacts list, that suggests your account has been compromised, and I recommend changing your passwords and secret/security questions.
