spam emails being sent from my name

Hello

Please forgive me as I am not very techinical. Over the last few days my emails contacts have been receiving emails supposedly from me signed off 'from my iphone'

emails using my name@.... which is various different domain names such as @sd3marketing & @undeerc.org.

Iphone 6+ has not been jailbreaked so therefore highly unlikely to have a virus or malware, do you know what else I should be doing? I ran Clamxav and there doesn't seem to be any infection either.

All suggestions and help will be gratefully received.

Many Thanks

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4

This is usually either the result of a phishing message asking for e-mail address and password or they hacked the e-mail server. It almost never happens due to something on your computer.

Log into your e-mail server with a browser and check to make sure nothing in your account has been changed, enter a new password and that's it. It may not stop those messages immediately, but they will eventually stop.
