"I'm afraid I wasnt able to deliver your message"

right, here's my problem.
I sent out an email to 15 people, but after about 1 minute after sending the email through eircom.net, I get this reply:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at eircom.net.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<colcomck@indigo.ie>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. vpopmail (#5.1.1)

--- Enclosed is a copy of the message.

The worrying thing is that I didnt send the email to that user?

Antivirus sees no virus

Any ideas?

Sounds like a virus on someone else's machine. They take your email address from their address book, create a new mail message with your email address as the from header, and attempt to spread their filthy spawn.

Or it could be that one of the people you emailed has their mail forwarded to that address.
