FWIW, all of mine today seem to be coming from 160.36.4.117 The University

Subject: [IMail Forum] WAY OT--Tracking Sobig


Hi all,

Those who don't want to waste their time on non-Imail issues please move
on now...

I have a connectivity customer who has an GroupWise mail server behind a
Symantec Gateway.  Sobig isn't getting through to his mail server.
However, the quantity is such that the Symantec Gateway is so overworked
that his legit mail is suffering a massive slow-down.  He has observed
that Sobig spoofs the sending address.  I observed the same when we got
a message to an alias saying that the alias address had sent Sobig.
He's wondering if there is a way to track it back and notify the owner
of the infected machine and thereby hopefully reduce the volume they are
receiving.

I've asked him to send me the headers from a quarantined message so I
can investigate.  His first attempt to do so was unopenable to me.  I'm
awaiting his next attempt.

Has anyone had experience or any suggestions for tracking Sobig?  I
haven't seen any samples of Sobig.F.  YEAH for Imail rules!  Maybe not
perfect but helpful, anyway...

Thanks,
Katie
