OK, so I completely understand that anyone can write anything in the "from" line, what I need to know is HOW do I block them when the from is my own address that they put in, and not theirs? I send myself emails all the time so I can print on another level of my home (to another imac) so I don't want to block myself, What I'd like to know is HOW do I find their email? who it REALLY came from and block them and or track them down? I sooo wish I had a program to automatically extract the person's address and spam them 1000 times over. Anyone write this yet?

You can't. That's the whole point.

Presumably this means I should be careful about adding such spam emails to my spam filter's list of spam addresses. I do occasionally send emails to myself, and I don't want to block these.

Think of the "from" line of an e-mail as nothing more than the return address on a snail-mail envelope. Nothing stops me from writing someone else's name and address, and the mail will still go through.
