Well, it means that someone tried sending E-mail to a non-existant user on
your machine. It could just be that there was a typo in the address, or an
old account.

It sounds like a mistake. Right afterwards, after you say the user doesn't
exist, you get the:

from the same machine. It *should* be generating a bounce message. It
just shouldn't be sending it through you, and it should be using a return
address of "<>".
If you see a bunch of these, it may indicate a problem. But it sounds like
it may have just been a one-shot deal.
