It is one or more members of the list that got a virus and it is going through saved email and send to the addresses. It is a quite normal behavior from a virus. It will pick both receiver and sender, so it is very difficult to identify the computer who sends it, other than with the IP addresses. The list it safe, but it is a reason for everybody to check their computers.
Personally I use Eudora, a free email client and also in my opinion the best, since it do not execute any attachments. Outlook is very dangerous and also have some Microsoft handles in it. I also use Norton and do very frequent virus scans and it scans my mail. I never open an attachment, I never open anything that is not expected and I am not sure of the origin and that it is safe. Even if a friend send an unexpected attachment, I ask him before I open it. I have friends who loves to send jokes and funny pictures around, but I never open them, since this is the sure way to get surprises.
