Sounds pretty similar to something that happened to me a couple of weeks ago.
I got a whole slough of undeliverable messages. My address was listed in the
Return Path, but the messages originated from a bunch of what I think were
dummy addresses. Since I use PMMail for my email, they came through a a bunch
of messages with attachments. This isn't exactly the same as what you
describe, but close. I figured that my name was hacked from someone's address
book (or somewhere) and got used -- without my permission. So far, no bad
effects.
