Ok, i see you must have experience. Are there really so many virussender
who specify a fake REAL EXIST mail address?
YES! All major email viruses do that these days.
The virus makes a list of email addresses, whether from an address book,
cached web pages, local documents, a Google search, etc. Many viruses
just pick two of those addresses at random and use one for the sender
and the other for the recipient. Others just pick the recipient and
choose a likely admin address for their domain, like
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc. -- and those often exist.
