If that email is compromised, can you close it? I don't want it sending this crap out to people...

I haven't given my password out to anyone. Can someone look into this asap?

It's not a compromised account. If you check the headers you will find that while it shows your address, it does not in fact originate from here. Unfortunatly spammers can strip the e-mail addresses from the forums and use it to spoof e-mails. You can turn off your allakhazam e-mail address and remove it from the forum toolbars under your user options page if you so desire.
