I suspect that somehow the addresses on my mail server have been 
compromised. I have been getting a flood of worm-laden messages, many of 
them showing "FROM:" addresses on our mail server. I wouldn't think much 
of it normally; I'm well aware of the various worms that will hijack the 
address book on an infected computer and use those for forge the "FROM:" 
header. But today I saw one from a brand new e-mail address that has not 
been used yet (at least not to my knowledge).

If I wanted to scour my mail logs for "harvesting" attempts, what key 
words should I use in the filters?

Any other suggestions?

TIA,
