I received bouncebacks to an email that I didn't send. Part of the sender's was my email address: ("zffmlieczlnbglwfzwwjqoosq" <marikaj@primus.com.au>) How do I stop someone from using my email identity?

Details of the bounceback notification with the original email at the bottom (there is an attachment that I have not opened):

Most likely a spammer used your email address as From: address. You're now getting the 'undeliverable' errors. It will stop at some point. Until then simply delete those error messages, or filter them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_(email)
