Chris, That's another one that will come to you from just about anywhere. If someone is infected and has your email address anywhere on their system, you'll get targeted. Here's the write up from Symantec... of interest is the section describing where the worm harvest email addresses from. The fact that you are getting them from varying IP addy's is because of the number of people who are infected.

My anti-virus sw protects me well so I am not infected in any way (nor has anybody else here). Initially, I used to ignore the messages and delete them; after a couple of weeks I decided to trace the source IP from the mail header and send complaint messages to the corresponding ISP. But the Bast**d keeps finding other IP's to mail me from. Messages come from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is anyone else being targeted? Is this a common occurrence? Am I the only one? Cheers!
