I see this with Zafi as well.  This from another list regarding Zafi:
=====
This Hungarian originated virus initiates a Dictionary attack on domain
names that if finds on the infected machine. It does not use DNS to find the
MX records, but instead guesses the host name (such as 'mail' or 'mx'),
prepends it to the domain name, and then proceeds with it's dirty work using
Hungarian sounding names.
=====

Thus this particular virus will bypass gateway machines and send directly to
the hostname "A" record, which is typically pointed to the IMail server so
that customers can reach the IMail server via their e-mail clients.  That's
one of the reasons why we do virus scanning on our gateway machines and our
IMail servers.

WORD!!! Me too... I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing this!!

Thanks,
