Antivirus stupidity
Your e-mail with subject "hello" was blocked because we found a virus attached".
Interesting thing to receive. Problem is though, this virus (which they identified in the mail) is known for the fact that it uses the address of someone else (i.e. not the infected person) as the From: address. So folks, what's the use of telling me about this? Do you expect me to go and hunt down the one who is infected, smearing my name connecting it with a virus? That's exactly what I did ofcourse. I would imagine any antivirus corporation to understand that there is absolutely no use in telling mrx that some mystery person is sending out infected mails. This reminds me of the time spammers used my address to send out spam and I got a bunch of bounces.
