Just a virus faking your domain info. mikewb would just be someone
unfortunate enough to be in an infected computer's address book, browser
cache, etc.

Yeah, he's the sme guy whos sending these same virus attached messages
to about every ISP on the planet. WTF are you drinking??

I have gotten two of these at home and dozens of them at work. They
usually say they come from support@, admin@, noreply@, managment@, and
my favorite, /net. Click on the zip file, you'll
get a surprise.

This is not a new thing Steve. You need to give it a rest with Bryant, I
really doubt he's the guy sending thousands of these messages.

Did I mention Bryant with regards to this? Hmmmmmmmm.

Actually it's Mike W. Barraclough in the UK. He's another radio hobbyist.

Something must have latched onto his email address.

The number of viruses out recently has been incredible. I must average close to a couple dozen a day.

Many of them come to me in "bounce" messages saying mail I sent couldn't be delivered - but I'm sure none of my machines are infected.

One thing that makes it tougher to track down who has been hit is most viruses seem to pick a random name from the address book to put in as the person sending it.
