This is exactly the problem i have, not only do i get mad virii incoming, i also get crazy bounced mail, where it used me in the From: field, this is why i am relly irritated, beacuse some ppl e-mail me and go "OMFG j00 HAVE TEH [EMAIL PROTECTED]@#$" you can see where this would be a bit annoying.

I noticed today that about 10 minutes after posting to gentoo-user-de my smtp
was flooded by attempts to send various types of virii (all ended up on clamav).
Really annoying was that my email-adress was also used to send virii to other
people (got many messages from other smtp-servers which filtered the virus)..
There are some really crappy people subscribed to that list I suppose. :-(
