It is an antivirus program on a mail server or someones workstation telling you that some one using your email address as a sender has the virus. You may or may not have it.

Spam blocking the forged email addresses did not work.

I just shut down SMTP relaying ... until I sort this out.
That means only web based mail for a bit.
grrr ... oh well ... a 15 minute inconvenience ...

Most of these types of attacks have come from China based hackers in my experience.

It's down to 30 per hour from 150 ...
My workstation is 98 so I can't have the Sobig virus.
Nor do I use Outlook.
Nor do I ever open email with attachments.

And the other XP on my network is off ...

I've shut down SMTP ...on my domain ..then on all domains on the same box ...

I've shut down POP3 ...on my domain ...then on all the domains on the same box ....

they just keep coming ...
that's what happens when 20,000 members have your primary email address ...

grrrr ...
SoBig is not done yet ...
I hate virus coders ....
