which indicates that [EMAIL PROTECTED] sent a message to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] However, that really didn't happen.

The message contains "Unknown user", has headers but does not have the IP or
name of our outgoing mail server in those original headers, so the message
wasn't actually sent by an ACSWorld user.

If they didn't send the original message, they don't want this message and
constantly explaining forging viruses, how they work, why the return message
gets returned, etc, was getting tiresome.
