These are most likely courtesy of the Klez worm. The it takes both "To:" and "From:" addresses from the victim's address book, so you may not know the person it's purportedly from.
However, if you look at the full headers and the last (earliest by time) "Received;"header, you can usually work out the domain it really came from. If you know only one or two people in that domain, using Windows, advise them that they may have Klez. All the usual anti-virus apps can detect and stop it. You could also try complaining to postmaster@ that domain, but most likely they'll ignore you. -- Alan >on 5/22/02 7:57 AM, Tim Collier at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> Hi guys! >> In the past few days, I've been getting email from absolute strangers with >> attachments with extensions such as: .scr, .pif and .exe.
