Has anyone seen a virus that replicates itself by sending to one address in a users address book, and using another address from the address book in the 'from' field?

I've seen a lot of them that do that.
sounds like what we've been getting hammered the past 2 days and it hasn't been fun at all.Quote:

That looks like it. Wonder who the hell has it... Must be at least two degrees of seperation since I know the ip pools of everyone in my address book...Quote:

This one's had me running raggedy all week. I don't have any virus's imbedded in my network, I am confident that ETrust 7 is doing exactly what it was designed to do, and verified it about 100 times. But I'll be damned if 15% of my people keep getting messages from email servers around the country talking about blocked viruses that “they” sent.
It gets hard to explain email spoofing ten times a day, especially when I still don't have a full grasp on it!
Yeah, I hate that ****. It's a pain in the *** when you get a bunch of "delivery failed" emails when someone is spoofing you. ..another arguement for the elimination of anonymity on the internet.Quote:
