It's probably "blowback" resulting from the activities of worm-infected
windows hosts. Someone you correspond with got infected and the worm
subsequently propagated itself by picking your name from their address
book and inserting it into the from: header of the message carrying the
worm. Then, badly configured MTAs send "helpful" NDRs to the "sender"
informing them that they're messages couldn't be delivered

Pretty routine, really.
