I suspect somebody w/ the virus has my email address in their address book. If you check the headers, you can find the ip address it came from (it will be the ip address in the Received From: line added by the first mail server it hit at your ISP - everything before that is a lie). You can take that and go to www.dnsstuff.com to find out which ISP owns that address. Forward it to abuse@ that ISP. They can check their logs and find out who it's coming from.

Thanks for providing this info. I've wondered about this awhile. Wonderful. It'll work for those Nigerian scam letters, too, yes? Wee!
