One of my users was sent a bogus email abuse warning stating that his
account had been flagged  because his "account was used to send a large
amount of unsolicited e-mail messages during the last week." They had an
attachment that was flagged by AVG as a virus and so the email was bounced
back to me as the return address was [email protected] which
comes to me. I've never seen this particular social engineering stunt before
and thought I'd pass it along to you guys. I can pass along the text of the
bounced message (sans attachment, of course! <G>) if anyone wants it.
