You didn't notice the horde of exchange servers freaking out because of that kind of
mail?
It contains a virus - so it's the bad kind of spam... not that I know that many good
spam mailers ;)
The sender can, afaik, not help it. It's sent automatically if you're first infected.
However - who on earth would open such mail attachment? And if doing so... w/o an
updated antivira? Beats me...
I must have seen the first 30 auto replies on this list concerning the mail in
question. But well, if any spam should be sent, vira warnings isn't the worst to see.
Plenty of other spam sources to bash I think.
