It is a virus. I got a message from AusCERT (Aussie IT security place) about
it this morning (as in about 12 hrs ago).

And some instances of it are forging [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the
sender. Others are forging [EMAIL PROTECTED]... I received several
original copies today and nearly as many bounces. If the perpetrator is
found a message will go out to the pigeon population calling for a carpet
bombing.
