undelivered e-mail scam

I have a load of 'mail delivery system' errors in my spam folder saying that e-mails to all these addresses could not be delivered, I haven't sent any e-mail to these people, Have e-mails been sent from my account? or is this just a scam message

Its just spam and try to ignore it. The spammers forge the headers so it appears to be originating from a valid email address to have a higher chance of getting through spam filters. Unfortunately they chose your email address. Unless they have a particular grudge against you, it is just their spamming software randomly picking you from its lists.

Do you use hotmail? I was getting email alerts like that with hotmail. I changed my password just to make sure it wasn't hacked. I haven't received any lately.
