I am recently getting spam emails that have my own email address in the "From" column. I just delete them but I wanna know how this is happening and if maybe other people are getting junk emails from "me"???

Spammers usually spoof the from address. One way is to use the to address. In that case your the only one getting this spam from you. Another is to use the same spoofed from address in all spam, disastrous for your rep. Or anything in between. You could also be hijacked and the spam is actually send thru your account.
