Sobig fakes the from: line. So the virus could
be sent from anyone who has both the adress
of naala and pws in his Outlook-Adressbook.
The sender does not need to be a list-subscriber.

Because of the faked from: it makes no sense
to send warning mails as a reply to any
sobig mail: This just adds load to the
mailservers.
