Why does some Mail get generated Without Being Sent!

I have gotten a few Mail Delivery Failed warnings of mail that was from some of my E-Mail addresses, but I never sent them. HEre is one of the error reports.

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

[email protected]
(generated from [email protected])
SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<[email protected]>:
host mailic01.gazeta.pl [19-.42.---.60]: 550 Brak rekordu SPF/MX nadawcy lub bledna autoryzacja SMTP!
 
It's just a case of someone spoofing your email address as their "From:" or "Reply-to:" address. Most likely a Spammer, but anyone who knows your address could do it. I won't explain how to do it (for obvious reasons) but it can be accomplished on any email client in about 15 seconds.
