email "spoofing" is a term used to describe a fraudulent email activity in which the sender's address and other parts of the message header are altered so that the message appears to come from a different sender. Spoofing is commonly used for sending spam (unsolicited email) and phishing email (attempts to obtain sensitive information for fraudulent access to secure accounts).

They either have your password and are using your email address to send those emails or they are spoofing the email's sender which basically is changing who the reviver thinks sent it.
Can someone else use your email address to send spam?
Unfortunately, yes. It is possible for an email to be sent from an address without actual access to the mailbox associated with it. This is known as "email address spoofing". There is a verification system known as Sender Policy Framework, or SPF, to avoid this spoofing practice. It must be implemented on the mail servers directly, so unless one is actually running a mail server there isn't much one can do to enable it. Most mail servers do support SPF already, however, greatly reducing the risk of spoofing.
