How do I stop Spam Emails from my own Email Address?

In clearer English - you are not sending any spam. A spammer/scammer is sending emails just using your name ("BladesNBarrels") in the FROM section. There's not much you can do about it, unfortunately. Maybe call in an air strike?

Thanks for the clarification. I am getting the same email every morning now and my wife is getting one from her email address.
It is like the phone calls from my own phone on the Caller ID.
Some days technology is very frustrating.

You might be able to block the domain which is sending, but it looked like an SMTP relay from gmail, so I dunno if that's possible (sure it is) or how that would be done via comcast.

If you were working full time at fighting the growing tide of spam/phishing/fraud on the Internet you could notify one of the admins on the domain sending the emails. As an individual user, either set up a filter to handle the junk mail or just delete them manually when they come in. A couple per day is pretty simple to deal with.

Some of the phishing emails today are getting as good if not better than the emails sent by the legitimate entities they are posing as. Trust no one. Verify everything. If you don't have time to verify something, trash it.

I love seeing IPv6 spam.. Just makes me chuckle.

As someone else said, you are not doing anything. Someone is forging your email address on an open relay. It happens to all of us. The software to generate the emails just uses "random" emails that it has in its database (typically from someone else's account that has been compromised long ago that had your email address in their contacts list). You are also probably getting the bounce-back from other mail relays rejecting the spam.
