Honestly, if this is how viruses are spread then we have WAY too many computer illiterate people in the world. The FIRST clue is that the filesize is ~40k. The SECOND clue is that I never SEND MAIL. Even if you do send mail, I'm sure you could remember whom you've sent it to. The THIRD clue is that almost every one of these ~40k files came from hotmail accounts. The FOURTH clue is that most of them have attachments. Why do you need attachments for a failed e-mail notification from a service I don't use? It beats me. The FINAL clue is that all of these e-mails were sent within a short timeframe. They were all Friday or Saturday sends.
But I honestly know that this is the exact ploy people who send viruses use. And we have millions of gullible people who will think that their e-mail wasn't sent properly and open it including the attachment. Then they wonder how in the world they could have gotten a virus.
PERSONALLY I have had this computer for over 3 years now and I have not gotten a single virus. I don't even have an anti-virus program installed. People that open these e-mails should really just throw their computers out the window because they do not deserve to own one.
