mail delivery system spam

Hi. I am receiving dozens of mail delivery system messages all of a sudden. None of the emails seem to be from addresses we send emails to and it is using the generic mailbox rather than the individual boxes that we all have at the office. I have attached a copy of the headers below.
What do you suggest I check to make sure we are not being used as a spam relay server or whatever ? I haven't looked at more than a small sample but all seem to be returned form .ru domains.
Regards
Huw

Probably a spammer has harvested your email address and is using it as a fake from address - it should die down in a few days
