Odd's are your account might have been compromise or rather your email portion of your account, I recommend that you check your account and see if find any strange files and also check your coding for any unknown strings. Also I recommend you change all your passwords to your domain panel, cpanel and email accounts as well. Of course it might not be that severe and a spammer is just spoofing your domain and off the top of my had I am not to sure o nthe mx thing so hopefully someone can reply on that issue.

Could be because that your e-mail system on cPanel (like Saint_Michael said) has been compromised by some sort of script, or even a hacking attempt that succeeded...

If it were just the e-mail system, then I would recommend you delete all the mail address, and create a new one with a different and "harder to guess" password... That way, even if the "spamming program" (even though it might not be a program) knows the e-mail, it still can't get in....

It may be an attempt to frame the company, so if this problem continues to occur, I would recommend you contact the company who (may or may not be advertising their products through spam, intentionally, or unintentionally) may do something about it...

If this were just an e-mail issue, or because someone tried hacking it and succeeded then I would just recommend you get a more secure password (one with lower case, upper case, numbers, symbols, completely random, and has minimum characters of 8), but if it is a security issue which allows some script to remotely change coding on php files, or maybe cPanel files themselves, it could be a serious security matter...

Good luck on fixing the problem by the way
