Yeah - but it HAS to come from somewhere! Even randomly generated from one's address book (like Peter Gaby's situation) - the email came from someone (Peter - even if he didn't send it.)
I know that businesses (customer service - tech support) somehow block return mail to deter floods of email coming in... If someone sends something there should be access to reply back DIRECTLY TO THE ADDRESS IT CAME or the email shouldn't be processed. The HAHAHAHA_sender's return email address comes up (can't remember what is it is... the HAHAHAHA@ is plenty for me to see to know what is there...) but won't allow return mail.
In Peter's case... the virus sent the email under his name - from his account. (which is "smart" - people in his book KNOW him - and would be more likely to accept and open the email).
I was able to reply back to him from the originating email... (not my address book - the actual email with the warning on it) and email him back warning him...
IN every case of "unintentional virus exposure" I have seen-- as in the person had NO IDEA... the email came from a legit account and I could reply back to that account. The HAHAHAHA_person - somehow conceals or changes the originating email address you receive so that the "return email address" doesn't work. BUT IT HAS TO COME FROM SOMEWHERE!!!!
