It's probably not from them. The latest spam and viruses are spoofing
e-mail addresses so that it's nearly impossible to track where they
comes from. I get bounced messages all the time to people I know I've
never heard of before nor would have sent a message to.

The best way to combat this is to have an address that you give out
online and another one that you use just for personal e-mail. For
example, if a website asks for your e-mail address, use your backup
e-mail address instead of your main one. Chances are that site will
either sell your address to someone else or it will be hacked by
spammers. This will keep the spam off your main address and keep your
address from being used without your knowledge.

http://www.snopes.com/ has info on spam and viruses.
