Do you see the messages in your Sent folder? If not, do you only know that they are sent when the recipients notify you, or do some bounce back, or what? Can you ask one of the recipients to check the headers of the email to determine the true origin of the email? Since you changed your password, chances are they don't actually have access to your account anymore, if they ever did. It's possible that the spammer somehow accessed your address book, and is just spamming your contacts and making the emails appear to come from you. If this is the case, there isn't really much you can do about it.

There are no sent messages in my sent folder. In the past people would notify me, but I would usually get emails that were bounced back anyway. This morning it had sent an email to my address as well so I got the email from myself and saw the list of everyone else as well.

Good point about the possibility of them just having my contact list and spoofing my name with it. I will do some digging.

ETA: Damnit that is exactly what they are doing now. The email came from dps@sbap.co.in with my name...
