OK, every day now I seem to get around 40 messages from one of my servers telling my email is undelivered and it returns it to me, (Well I get a undelivered message!)

Now, I never send an email to any of these address and my pc is not on 247 and I am getting these emails even when my pc is not in use!

Is this a form of spam designed to trick me or somthing more sinister?

My pc is scanned weekly for spyware etc, and I use a top VS checker as well!

here is a image take a look!

Something going on there. Did you try removing unnessicary items from startup. Try panda Active Scan as well. Maybe your ISP could shed some light as to whats been going on.

Some spammer has gotten ahold of your email address and is using it in his headers to spoof his mailings. I hate to say it, but the only way to stop this is change your email address.

Someone is using one of those addresses for the spoof. You have your email addresses publicly visible in too many places, the spambots have harvested them. I'd recommend you disable your domain catchall and only use certain accounts.
