I think this is the outpourings of a very old virus (one of the Outlook "read the address book and fire off emails from its contents" type); I remember a problem like this cropping up easily 2 or 3 years ago on one of my mailing lists.

Re: [expert] Myster of my own.
yep, I think it is either someone "harvesting" good e-mail address (ie.; no bounce in the first min, must be a "good" address with a valid e-mail box) but I have noticed about a week later, the same domain but a different sender finds a klez or a nimda mail sent to me also, (just three attachments, one of which is an *.exe or *.pif or *.com etc) the one I liked was the second from the same address, that said "Symantec has a removal tool for Klez32", and it was Klez.
