Receiving spam from my Own Server

Receiving spam from my Own Server
I'm not sure how this is happening or if there is a way I can prevent it by locking down or changing some configuration. I'm not an expert at this stuff, so I thought I would post here as I have looked around and can't seem to find my specific case.

Basically, I am getting email from some spammer, but the email is addressed from myemail@mydomain.com to myemail@mydomain.com. I have spamassassin running on this server, and it even flags the email as spam.

The issue is I have a filter setup in gmail to always move email to my inbox if it's from mydomain.com. Because obviously it shouldn't be spam, as it's from me.

Is there something that I didn't configure on the mail server to prevent this? Or is this something that can't be prevented?

Basically, I would not like to have spammers sending me emails from my address to my address. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
