So, I can see three possibilities:
1. I have a virus (don't think so, I'm running norton which is up to date, and does a NIGHTLY scan) Plus I'm using thunderbird as an e-mail client.
2. The other guy have a virus and is simply sending them straight out to me with the virus attached (there is an attachment, but I'm not opening it).
3. Somone has gotten control of my domain (www.thejbw.com) and is sending via it (seems unlikely considering the fact that my site is running fine)
4. Some third party, is simply using my address as their header and they are bouncing back to me.
 
If you use outlook or outlook express, you assume some heavy security responsibilities that you could just as easily defer to the sysadmins of your service provider.

I thought I made it clear that I use neither outlook nor outlook express. As I said in the OP, I'm reasonably sure that there is no virus on my local system.
 
The fact is, this is couched as an e-mail bounce, but I suspect it is just a delivery mechanism for the virus itself. But I am not positive.
