It's a repeat of an older attempt to exploit the same imagined
trust-relationship between customers of Microsoft and the company.

You do realize that this is probably the *most* inefficient way, short
of hand sorting, that you have of blocking the message?

Your MTA will undoubtedly support header filtering and be capable of
rejecting these messages during the SMTP session. This will cost so much
less than filtering the virus as SPAM that you wouldn't believe it...
If you are not sure how to make the relevant changes to your MTA feel
free to respond privately to me (being sure to mention which one it is)
and I will give you what assistance I can.
