Strange issue and probably a virus. I have a client that (more than once now) gets emails addressed to himself from himself. Even if this is a virus how does it spoof his address like this ?
 
The klez virus does a lot of spoofing on the name the message came from. If there is a user out there that has a limited address book - with the user in it. It will take a random name from that address book and then send to everyone in the address book.

The klez virus will probably live forever, since you can't really pinpoint who sent the message and who really has the virus!
