Is this an example of someone having hijacked my email address?

Probably not- as anyone can just make up an email addy and use it to send mail to people- I've done it as a mindless joke in the past- I sent myself an email from some random celeb as a laugh- don't ask- (totally harmless of course!), you just can't POP3 that account. So some spoofer's just done that or something. But seeing as you'd never email yourself, you could just block it...
