If you use an email program like Outlook that downloads your mail, it is typically possible to view the header. This has a lot of information about who is sending the email. If the email hints at anything illegal, then you should contact the police and get them copies of the emails, and they may be able to trace.
If you just look at your mail like Comcast, then you may have to contact them to be able to see the header info.
I am sure the local computer club, or the connected villager club could provide a lot more information if this is bothering you.
One other item you should have your computer checked for virus, malware, etc, it is possible that some software is actually on your PC sending the emails outs to everyone on your email list, including yourself.
Hope this helps.
