The "From:" address is probably being 'spoofed' by a spammer trying many
different addresses and is getting no response. Check the headers of the
email to follow the hops to the originator. Although your email address
may have been spoofed this does not mean that the spoofer has gained
access to your mailbox. This information may help too:
