In all liklihood, it is not bounced mail. It usually means that someone with your email address in their address book has been infected by one of a series of viruses and the virus is using your address either directly or indirectly in its attempts to replicate itself throughout the web through using your address as being the 'sender' or through directly sending you a false notice that some of your purportedly sent mail has failed to be sent. If you attempt to open the attachments to those mails without any protection, you will be activating an executable program which will, in turn, infect your computer. Most anti-virus software handles these type attacks with ease provided your virus definitions are fully up-to-date. The best defence, of course, is in knowing that you never sent an email to be bounced in the first place.
