How to report a security breach in Yahoo Mail?

I am getting emails saying that they came from my own email address for Viagara. I did an AV scan which came back clean. I changed my password for my Yahoo Mail after the first time this happened. But I got an email from myself again this morning. Is there a way to find out from Yahoo if my email account has been hacked?

It’s not hacked.
It’s easy to send an e-mail to a destination and put the recipient as the ‘sending party’.
Most e-mail clients should be able to do a reverse lookup of who the message says it’s from. The IP that the message originates from won’t match the domain name for the root domain servers of the internet, and the message should be flagged as spam.
