Just got this from Dave's cousin. It sounds legit so I thought I'd pass it on.
Subject: VIRUS ALERT - THIS ONE IS REAL 2/7/07 This one is FOR REAL , I
just
checked Snopes myself and it IS REAL
http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/mailserver.asp
"Warn everyone you know through e-mail not to open an e-mail with
"Mail Server Report" in the subject line.
This one is real!
Urgent!! This is a Bad Virus Please don't open!
This one checks out and is a bonafide real virus so hence the
warning.
Any email with "Mail Server Report" in the subject line is a new
virus
And should not be opened. It comes with an attachment in 'zip format'.
Apparently
there is a Zip file attached so be very leery of anything with a zip
file
on it. The message tells you that a worm was detected in an e-mail
that
you Sent out and asks you to open and install the attachment to fix
the
Problem.
Only, it IS the problem!
DO NOT DO IT!
Delete the e-mail.
