It's most likely back-scatter spam. A spammer sends out a assload of emails with your address as the reply-to address, then if it bounces it goes back to you. Basically it's a shitty thing for spammers to do, but it also means that the recipients server isn't setup correctly either since it doesn't check to see if the IP address in the header of the spam email actually corresponds to the reply-to address domain. If it didn't check out, they shouldn't send anything back... so yeah, not much you can do except setup a filter in your inbox or on your hosting setup blocking all of these for a while.
