That would be when the infected person gets home every day, and dials in to check for 
new e-mails.

AHHHH!!!  I hate it when I make a left-turn onto stupid.  Of course, why
didn't I think of that.  I knew that about klez but didn't read anything
about bugbear using the same MO.

But I'm still real  curious as to why it only hits around 4 PM.

It's Klez or a related (BugBear) worm, on a third party's PC somewhere,
spoofing your address as the 'from' address.  So if it bounces, it
bounces back to you.  Delete, Fuggedaboutit.

Subject: unknw user: possible infection?


A strange occurrence has happened in the last two days.  Right around
3:50 PM (EST), I start receiving ndr's saying that a message for
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cannot be delivered. There is no such user or
mailbox. Trend also sends me a mail saying it's found and quarantined
the bugbear virus 

The text message that cannot be delivered is at the end of this message.
The file that is sent out is the worm_bugbear virus.  I've checked
Trendmicro's site for information on how "bugbear" propogates itself as
I thought that this is possibly an infected machine.  However, on the
day that "bugbear" information hit the internet, I checked and then
immediately upgraded the Trendmicro anti-virus.

I've got relaying turned off and have verified it using the method
described numerous times on this list.

Do I have an infected desktop?  I'm running Trend's Officescan on the
desktop.  What also confuses me is that it I start getting the ndr's
right around 4 PM, EST.

And just as a side note, there actually is a "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
