Strange behavior in Outlook. Do I need to take action? [View all]

I got an "undeliverable" message from Outlook for an address that didn't appear in TO or CC when I looked in Sent messages. But when I opened the attachment in the "undeliverable" message, it displayed the bad address in place of the CC I had typed. What's the purpose of malware sending a message to a bad address? How did this happen? Should I take any action?

Here are screen shots of the "Undeliverable" attachment and the details in the "undeliverable" message.

DARN IT! My drop box URLs aren't working in DU. Can someone suggest another way to send a screen shot??
