Someone who has you in their address book as got a virus. Their computer is sending out emails on behalf of people in their address book so you end up getting the bounce backs etc when it fails.
Nothing much you can do really except get some virus checkers/spam filters etc

PS. Dont run the attachments

Its probably Netsky or MyDoom - don't open the atachments!
