It IS a form of spam, what happens is the spammers send to a non-accepting but legitimate address knowing it will get bounced. Your email system then blindly accepts the fake can't deliver notification and bingo! you have been spammed.
Decent email systems can keep track of what they have sent out and reject bounce messages which do not correspond to those actually sent.
