Spams sent from an external email address but email address sender changed to my own email address in my...

I recently received some strange spams on my mail server, i'm using zimbra 8.x. bundled with postfix.



I think i've secure postfix enough to avoid receiving spams from my own domain by an external smtp connection without authentication.



Here is the part of zimbra.log when some spammers are trying to send emails from my email address to my email address without smtp authentication.



Message ID '[reject:NOQUEUE:mail]'
virginie@mydomain.com -->
virginie@mydomain.com
Recipient virginie@mydomain.com
Nov 19 12:24:41 - unknown (91.x.24.x) status reject
553 5.7.1 <virginie@mydomain.com>: Sender address rejected: not logged in


They all get rejected, so theoretically i shouldn't be able to receive email coming from my own email address from spammers, except if my account has been hacked, which is not the case, i'll show you why in the logs.



The spammer used as sender an external email address, which is usual and then no authentication is needed in that case.



Nov 19 20:39:40 mail postfix/smtpd[4733]: NOQUEUE: filter: RCPT from hackzor.net[185.24.1.1]: <spammer@hackzor.net>: Sender address triggers FILTER smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:100
26; from=<spammer@hackzor.net> to=<virginie@mydomain.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<hackzor.net>


But the weird thing is that email in my inbox, the sender has changed to my own email address, here the header.
