We had the "my doom" email virus at work a few months back. It is one that
will send out emails that look they come from any address it finds on a host
machine. I still get notices from our exchange server from time to time,
although the virus itself gets filtered out by the coorporate system. It
would seem that it can lurk on unprotected desktops for a long time.

I would add, it's no big deal, all of my "bulk" mail gets forwarded to

Wonder if they realize it's a federal crime?

It could be that someone else has a virus which harvested the address from
one of my posts.

Had a look at the headers - the given IP addresses have nothing to do with
me. A tracert on the apparent originating IP (for which there is no
reverse
lookup) gave a penultimate hop of something called kaptech.net, and a
whois
on that indicates that it's registered in France. That would be consistent
with the +0100 timestamp.

Nuffink to do wiv me, guv'nor! :-)
