Ignore it as it cannot affect Linux based systems as it designed to alter system registry which you don't have.

MyDoom doesn't work on Linux. I think someone with your E-Mail addres got infected, and the virus decied to pretend to set the send-from addres to yours. This is often done by viruses, as it makes it harder to figure out, ho is infected.
If you want a Virus scanner, try freshmeat.net
