Amish, I am not an expert on such things, but I have sent along another mail, which contains virus affected emails I have received through / from vsnl servers and if you look at the text file, you will see that vsnl has written that there was a virus in the file and so they have deleted the "login file" (whatever that means).
Please let me know if my analysis the email headers is correct.
