Mail returned with an attachment which I have not sent

I have a relatively new domain name which I have not started using yet, Firstserved.co.uk. But today I have a returned email with a .mim attachment from postmaster@firstserved.co.uk saying Returned mail: Data format error.  

I have not opened the attachment.  What does this mean?  I wondered if it means someone is using my email address to spam?  If so, how can I make sure this does not happen?

Please help.

Do not open the attachment.

It's possible your mail address got spoofed

I have scanned for viruses.  Thanks for your help, I will just delete the message I think!
If your sure you didn't send that mail in the first place (and  I think you didn't, like you said too) it's best to delete the mail.
