I've even submitted a request to address@hidden asking that they 
trash all mail containing an attachment of your_details.zip.  The bounce 
with fictitious From header is how this DoS virus spreads.  The bounce 
either leaves the attachments in tact, or embodies them in the email. 
I'm sending requests to all smtp providers I receive a bounce notice 
from asking them to consider not bouncing the virus mail.  Join together 
in this and perhaps we can end the participation of the smtp providers 
in the DoS.
