Change your password ASAP.

mailer-daemon@yahoo.com is a mail that tells you something could not be sent.

Chances are your email has been compromised and used to spam people and some do not even exist.

Also email ALL your contacts to let them know in case they got anything scammy from "you".

Ok, keep an eye on it and if you have Facebook and whatnot that was using the same password, change those as well.

Write then down on a paper in case you forget(make it something complex, you will memorize it over time :) ). Make passwords contain CAPS small letter and numbers if you can too.
