No. It is the nature of the Klez beast. See below a quote from Lockergnome.
"When Klez propagates, it takes a random email address from your Outlook/OE address book and inserting it as the From address before it blasts out its payload to the rest of your address book. So, when you receive an email from someone that is infected, it may appear to come from an entirely different person. In some cases, I've received email from myself, to myself, or so it appears. When I look at the headers, I can see that it has traveled through various outside SMTP servers indicating that I had nothing to do with the sending of the email to begin with." -----Original Message----- From: Roger Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 8:31 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Sort of OT but!!!! Hi all I have a client who is experiencing the following problem. He is receiving the virus messages for mail that he has not sent. What is happening is that someone has used his email address to proliferate the KLEZ virus and all the sites that have received it have emailed him saying that the mail that he has sent has the virus. I went through all the logs for both the exchange and the external mail interface and non of the mail was sent by him (come to that, from the site). Apart from changing his email address, dropping the old address and causing absolute bedlam is there any way of stopping this?
