    Each day emails are being sent and the website is selling Viagra and other drug items.

      This happens to thousands of e-mail addresses every day. It usually only lasts for a few days. Some have suggested changing your account password. I can;t say if that works or not. I do know the high jacking does not last long so just wait it out. From what I understand, these spammers just use your e-mail address but can not access your account.
