What you're seeing is backscatter from other spam attempts. The spammer is forging your email address in the "from" field, sending that to other people, and those servers are barfing back at you. I had several days of this, at one point. Then it up and stopped. I'm guessing that the spammers pick one email address and use it just long enough to get stuff through before it's considered "burned" and then move on to the next one.
This is what I thought might be happening. As of today it does seemed to have stopped. I also added a bunch to eathlink's "spambuster" list.
As far as GMail goes, I almost never get spam in my in box there. The spam folder gets a lot, but I just scan that quickly and empty it from time to time.
