Toronto, ON | This virus is the worst I've seen. I run a small mail server on my own domain for personal use only (2 people use the site) and my e-mail address is not popular/widespread. But damn, I've been getting this virus blocked by Norton a few every hour. For some reason, people are trying to send it to an address on my domain that does not, and never has, existed. something as simple as kevin@mydomain.com got a few virus e-mails, however no where has anyone registered with it. Getting a bit annoying. |

Culver City, CA | This is part of the virus.
My domain name is being used in thousands of "spoofed" emails. I am having numerous problems with my LEGITIMATE email, so numerous that AOL is rejecting legitimate emails from me to my employee who is on AOL.
I have been studying the MYDOOM forged emails being returned by postmasters and I VERY STRONGLY suspect that the infection may actually originate somewhere from within the domains where the RECIPIENT'S ("To:" in the email headers) email comes. I have probably received over one hundred emails from two specific POSTMASTERS (advising me that I have the virus, which I don't). The domain name (only after the "@" sign) of the recipient is always the same, but the name of the recipient (before the "@") is always different. The name of the sender before the "@" sign is always different, but MY domain name is used.
I am enlisting the aid of Verisign (where my domain name is registered), but there is no resolution...yet.
What a nightmare!
