Electronic mail, often abbreviated as email or e-mail, is a method of exchanging digital messages, designed primarily for human use. An electronic mail message consists of two components, the message header, and the message body, which is the email's content. The message header contains control information, including, minimally, an originator's email address and one or more recipient addresses. Usually additional information is added, such as a subject header field. E-mail systems are based on a store-and-forward model in which e-mail computer server systems accept, forward, deliver and store messages on behalf of users, who only need to connect to the e-mail infrastructure, typically an e-mail server, with a network-enabled device (e.g., a personal computer) for the duration of message submission or retrieval. Rarely is e-mail transmitted directly from one user's device to another's.

This is a typical case of e-mail address spoofing. There is nothing you can do about it, some spammer forged the header and made it look as if you sent the e-mail. The spammer don't even need access to your e-mail account, spoofs like these are mostly done outside the e-mail system of the spoofed victim.

If your e-mail address is spoofed a lot, you will receive a lot of bounce backs to e-mails that you did not send.
