This happened to some of the domains I manage.... Just suddenly started 
getting *tons* of bounce messages (>1000/day) for about a week. I added 
an SPF record to my DNS zone file and the bounces mostly stopped. The 
ones that still came in all were from MS servers after that. :P

So in short, it may not be coming from you. :)
