More likely a friend of yours runs a PC with Outlook which has your name
in its address book. It's sending messages that look like they come from
you to another person in their address book. That may then in turn
bounce and send the bounce to where it (looks like it) was sent from -
you.

So there you have it, yet another reason not to use Outlook.
