Hi Folks,
Know the nasty virus is on the loose but look what we got today (I have
replaced the user name of our employee with Jan.Doe):

Subject: Warning about your e-mail account.
Hello user of Leesupply.net e-mail server,
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.
Please, read the attach for further details.

Have a good day,

==========================================================================
and attached there is a 12KB file TextDocument.zip
We obviously have no "management@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" address setup but this was
definitely confusing users.
Is there know way to track this source down ?
If nothing else, this is a "head's up" for what your users are seeing and
how confusing it could be to them...
Thanks !
Chuck
