Hi,

Here what I have just received:
Where can I send the header if that interests you?
=======================
Dear user of Spamgourmet.com,

Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail content)
outgoing from your e-mail account. Probably, you have been infected by
a proxy-relay trojan server. In order to keep your computer safe,
follow the instructions.

For details see the attached file.

Best wishes,
The Spamgourmet.com team
=======================

James,
This virus has been very active recently -- it looks at the domain name of the address it will send itself to, then fashions the message to appear to come from the administrator of the domain.

Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it -- it orginates from infected machines and sends itself to potential victims -- it doesn't actually use spamgourmet in the process.
