Yes.
They are probably the NetSky virus. The bank here has been hit very badly
with these - we even had to shut down the entire internal email system for
a day (affecting 18,000 staff) to stop it.
If adds you to its address book and then emails itself to other people in
your address book using your name details. I got an email from a person in
Italy telling me he recieved an email from me containing it, despite me not
knowing him.
The next virus writer that is discovered should be viciously beaten about
the nether regions with a large stick, that should stop this once and for
all :-))

Please respond to ql-users
Anyone know anything about a series of 'mail delivery failure'
messages from all over the place yesterday and today? They all seem to
be 42K but I haven't dared view them as my AVG anti-virus reckons
they're suspicious though doesn't know what they are, so I deleted
them all.
At 42K a time they are screwing up my emails a bit as the usual QL
mailing list stuff downloads in the time it takes one of these to
download.
As some of them seem to have Irish domains (.ie), Darren do you have
any idea what they are?
