If it was a virus that sent the email, then looking in your sent items isn't going to do anything... Take Klez for example, has it's own SMTP server built in. Plus TB! isn't affected by most of the viruses that affect Outlook/Outlook Express. As for submitting mail to spamcop addressed from you to you... it doesn't always read the to/from addresses. It does read the headers, and if the headers point to your address, then yes, it'd be submitted as spam, and you'd have ended up reporting yourself. But spamcop doesn't deal with viruses, and as far as I remember, has no plans to do so either. > I would suggest, at this time, that you install a least TWO > antivirus programs, run both (not simultaneously though) and do a > complete system scan for a virus, trojan or worm.
