If he didn't send the email/s then I am thinking 'Zombie' as well.
But 'I evidently sent 50.....' is ambiguous?

Did you intentionally send the message and it resulted in 50 copies to the
recipients? If the message included an attachment, then it may be that in
Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Advanced you need to uncheck the Break
Apart option.

Or did you get back returned mail that you didn't intentionally send?

Those can be one of 4 things:
1) Some spammer is sending the original messages and using your e-mail
address as the sender.
2) Someone else has a PC infected with a virus and the virus is sending
itself as the original message and using your e-mail address as the
sender.
3) The message is the virus itself, pretending to be a returned mail.
4) Your PC is infected with a virus and it has been sending itself. And
this is really a returned mail that your PC sent.

In cases 1, 2, and 3 above, the messages are not coming from your PC and
are not going through your e-mail account. There's nothing you can do to
prevent anyone from sending an e-mail with your e-mail address as the From
header, just as you can't prevent anyone from sending a postal mail and
putting your name and address as the return address. At this point all
you can do is filter out the messages. Your ISP may offer some filtering
at the mail server.

To make sure that case 4 above is not the cause, you should check your PC
with an updated anti-virus program.
