Ok, had to ask about this. Normally with most virus spoofs, I wouldn't ask, but I've been getting a LOT of one very specific type.
It's always saying I sent the email, and it's always to the same address. EMAIL:PROTECTED The funky thing is it's always a different virus, different host, etc. etc. I've been getting a LOT of these emails. Some examples follow.
The oddity here is that

I'm not using windows for my primary email. The machine that I DO have running windows has Norton AntiVirus, is behind a firewall, is patched pretty heavily, etc. etc. In other words, should be a clean system.
I've gotten a LOT of these emails over multiple dates. May 25th, May 31st, June 1st, Yesterday, and Today, not to mention who knows how many others I've deleted. They're all the same sender/recipient, but different virus's, and they're all VERY funky. Anyone know what the heck is going on here? Does someone have a virus or many on their machine, me as the only addressbook recipient or something? I'm VERY confused as to why I'm getting all of these, with JUST that sender from "me".
Thoughts? Suggestions? Etc.?
Jason
