An Internet e-mail message was sent to you from an outside source that contained an prohibited file type, but was removed for security purposes. The message header is attached below. If you must use e-mail to receive business-related .exe files, there is a workaround. Please inform the sender of the Internet Message to create a password protected zip file as explained in the steps below. For assistance with this procedure, please contact your local helpdesk.

*SIGH*
Why can't people get it right and make virus scanning systems that DON'T reply to mailing lists ? It seems pretty obvious that the people writing (these particular) email virus scanners havn't read or don't understand the SMTP RFC's at all.
I got a copy of the original message with the virus in it too, (our virus scanner blocked it correctly) and from looking at the headers of the actual virus infected message its clear that this particular scanner just blindly took the "To:" header and forwarded a report on to that address. Of course the "To:" header is easily forged, and in the case of a mailing list is often the address of the list itself, hence the reason this "report" was sent along to the list, including 4 or 5 others....
