SMSS.exe is also a legitimate program in the Windows OS (Session Manager Subsystem ).

Going aGoogling found that the Intel LANDesk uses a file called ssm.exe and there are a couple of programs listed as monitors using it, so be careful before just deleting that file.

Exactly where was the file?

Since Howard is running IMail 8.15 this means that his server has been compromised ala the SMTP vulnerability that is fixed only in 8.22 (patched) and 9.1. So, it is not a virus that would be found by F-prot or Symantec, but a server hijack or comprise.

I called Howard on this, but for everyone else's info, if you are seeing this, look for ssm.exe to be a running process. I found this on an Imail server that I administer for another company this morning. The file was showing processing time in the task manager and showed up on the Services list at Security Systems Manager, but the file had a modified date of 2/5/07 and no updated had been done on that server for over a week. Stopping this service stopped the junk messages from going out.

Neither F-prot or Symantec showed this file as a virus; however I did submit it to Symantec for analysis.
