Be aware that those virus thingys just take two email addresses out of the
address book of somebody and then use one of the addresses as "From:" and the
other as "To:" ... so if you receive a virus from somebody you know it is most
probably that he (his computer) didn't send it.
So if you receive a virus from somebody it just mean you and the "from" person is
in the address book of somebody having the virus "installed" :)
The only way to find out the real sender of the E-Mail is to look into the mail-
header and look for the IP who sent the mail. So you can closer your investigations
to a single IP (which probably is used for many PC's ... think of NAT)
greets,
