Please, folks, pay attention to virus lore. There are numerous viruses out
there that are constructed to infect a machine and promptly send out tons of
virus-laden messages under the names in that machine's address book--as Julie
say, "spoofing". There are so many now, that likely the spoofed addresses
outnumber legitimately-addressed, virus-carrying messages by several orders of
magnitude.
