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.
