I recently began receiving bounced email alerts for email I didn't send. I immediately changed my password, but that has not stopped the bounced email notifications.

I believe that someone is using my old address book from a previous hack and spoofing my account. It's very easy to do that of course.

How can I stop this person from spoofing my email?

Here's a portion of the header from one of the spam firewalls who rejected it:
