Hi Frank
Does this make sense in any way?
Not that I would assume that spamming makes sense ;) but maybe
this spammer just tries to fake the sender using your address - ?
A customer of mine recently receives this kind of bouncer spam,
and I told him the spammer is simply faking the sender address...
