Having a little problem... I'm getting quite a few returned emails due to "undeliverable mail" or "unknown user", or something similar. The only problem is I AM NOT SENDING ANY MESSAGES! Looking at the content of the returned emails, most of them deal with either Viagra or some other popular "stuff".

Some scumbag spammer probably used your e-mail address in the "From:" and/or "Reply-To:" lines of the spam that he/she sent. If so, and you can catch the person, you could get him/her in serious trouble. I believe that the feds may treat this sort of situation as similar to identity theft or mail fraud.
