I think Dan may be right on this, and from reading the MacAfee site it
claims the new worm has it's own SMTP engine, so if it hit or infected a PC,
and pulls their address book, or heaven forbid it can scan the emails stored
on your email client, it seems to be sending them.

We got a bounced message saying our info@ address had sent a virus, which is
odd since we use a Mac running OS X. It must be faking addresses and sending
on it's own from infected PC's.

Our Mailscanner has been grabbing and stopping them like crazy, but some of
my clients use their ISP mail and other mail programs like hotmail, Yahoo
and such. Not sure if the free email sites scan mail.
