THE PROBLEM is, I didn't send any email to that recipient, never ever.
So I reply to 'postmaster@hotmail.com' and of course it gets kicked back to me, but with this message:
postmaster@hotmail.com is an unmonitored account. If you need assistance, please consult our help pages or visit http://postmaster.live.com.
Thank You,

Any ideas on what is going on? I don't feel like emailing trungfa2@hotmail.com as I have no idea who they are, but think it's strange that it is possibly trying to send an email I sent, to someone else, to this strange email address.
