Go to Your Control Panel / E-mail settings and you will see a box that says Send me and e-mail when someone has sent me a private message.

Just uncheck that box to not receive them anymore.

Actually, it looks like you might have (accidentally?) clicked on the "Go" button on the bottom right-hand corner of the main Messageboard page. What this does is to send an invite like the one above from you to another e-mail address. It may default to using your own e-mail address for sender and recipient if you don't enter anything explicitly.
