Most probably the From: header is forged so the bounces are coming back to
you instead of the original sender - not much you can do about that.

If they are virus emails (which seems to be the case the past few days
thanks to Sober.Z worms) you might want to make sure you have spam and
virus filtering enabled on your mailbox.
