Read the headers carefully, are they all mail demon/mail delivery error messages? More likely someone has used your email address as the "return" address of emails that they're sending out. i.e. they're not going out of your account or computer, they are unfortunately just going out with your name on.

Not a lot you can do about it. It is a common frustrating irritating PITA.

It still might be worth your while running a comprehensive 'cleanse' of your system. Download Malwarebytes, install, update the definitions and then run a quick scan. See what that brings up
