Just had a blank e-mail from Sebastien (entitled Meeting Request or something similar - firewall got it so I can't be sure what it was called) that contained a virus (don't know which one as it never got as far as me). Mail was 119k in size. I suspect that he knows nothing about it, it may be something that fires itself to everyone in the address book.

I've warned people about this...

There is a virus extracting email addresses from mail you have received and sending itself with those addresses.. I've seen some bounce with my name on it.

I have scanned by entire system, and I'm using Office XP, so it just can't be my system sending those mails.. plus in the message header, I've seen the message was coming from a specific server and I mailed every member from that server..

Just like for some reason, somebody somewhere subscribed webmaster@neworderonline.com to spam lists and we're getting a lot of crappy mails since then... (I love SpamNet)
