There's no guarantee that Randy was the infected one. The way these worms are engineered, the only thing you know is that the FROM: and TO: addresses were available to the worm that sent it out. Any person that had both of them in their addressbooks could have been the source of the infected email message. Put another way, the FROM: address really does not mean anything at all about the origin of the actual infected email. I get infection notices and non-deliverable messages all the time for addresses that I've never sent email to, and that did not originate from my PC (the RECEIVED headers prove this). -- David W.
