There are couple of viruses that put addresses from the infected 
computer's address book as the From: header. I have gotten a few of 
these bounced back to me.

If you are getting a lot of bounced messages you may want to check that 
your mail server is not an "open relay". Our old one was and it was 
getting hammered by spammers sending junk through it. We got put on a 
couple of black lists until I replaced the server with the latest 
Sendmail.
