Q: Spam email from my email address. How can I set a rule to stop future?

Today I've received 3 spam emails which say they are from my email address. Can I set a rule to catch these?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), iOS 8.1.2

    a) They probably did not come from your MacBook Pro. It is very easy for someone to send an email and make it appear that it came from another email address.

    b) Rules are for incoming messages, not outgoing messages.
