By setting "From" as your address the sender is trying to bypass some simple anti-spam measures. However the cloudmarks were not fooled.
Anyone else receiving the message has likely found their own address in the From field just as you did. It's not something to be worried about.

Most likely your email address has been harvested from somewhere and used as the to/from headers.
