What does it mean when I get an email in my inbox like this (OE): "Your mail message could not be delivered, or may have encountered some trouble in the delivery process.
Due to security reasons the body of your undeliverable mail will not be attached.
Final error mail: mail can not be delivered to the following recipients:".
The sender is from an unknown address. There were 20 recipient addresses listed.
I DID NOT SEND THEM and both the recipients and the returner are unknown to me.
Help please.

Either you or someone with your email address in their address book has a virus. If the emails have any attachments DO NOT OPEN THEM!!!
Do online virus scans etc. now.

Another possibility is that you are on some spammers data base. They often use these to spoof email addresses and the returns get sent to you.
If the other email addresses look similar to yours (same part of alphabet etc) then this is almost a certainty.
