You can't stop it. You can only stop receiving it.Solution: Filter out emails from your own email address. Or delete them from the mail server if you can. The specific way to set up such a filter depends on which email client or webmail service you use. There are too many email clients and webmail services to give specific filtering instructions for here. However, it's not hard to figure out how to do that. Helpful Ideas: A.) For my webmail accounts I set a filtering rule like: If 'From' = 'me@myaddress.com', Then Send to 'Trash'. B.) For my POP email accounts I use the free "Email Remover" program to delete all spam directly from the mail server, before opening my email client program. But my email client isn't set to check automatically for new emails. That's common. A lot of spammers spoof (fake) the "From" address to make it appear as if it's from your own email address. It really isn't from your address though, as you can verify if you read the information in the email headers. Presumably, they think you'll be more likely to open it out of curiosity if it looks as if it's 'from' your own address.
