Actually, this virus not only gets addresses from a windows address book, but any web sites that one may have been to. Sooooo, the email could have come from someone that is NOT on the list, but has been to the SCLinux.org website.
I hate to think that someone is really all that bothered by clicking delete when a spam message comes in. I would think that we are all savvy enough to know what emails contain viruses and which do not. I would also hope that we all know to have some type of virus protection no matter which OS you are running(though Linux does seem to be its own antivirus system... : ) ). Thank you.
