Wasn't from me. Our
virus checker here at work would stop it.
From home I use Linux, so I'm not propagating virusii from
there.
That would require that I
manually forward a message with a virus.
That is also not likely, since my ISP stops those.
A virus will spoof someones email address when that
address is
found in the address book
of the infected machine, typically a PC
running Outlook.
As SoBig
has it's own SMTP engine, this is likely what happened.
