I don't think these messages are from somebody on dem. It is more
likely that someone with an infected machine has dem in their address
book.

Here's my copy of the message in question, with headers intact. Note
that the From: line has also been forged, so that the message appears
to be from the recipient's postmaster.

The forged From: is characteristic of the Klez virus. Earlier
versions simply supplied a From: address from the infectee's address
book. The forged From:=postmaster is a new variation that has shown
up just in the last week or so.

See also my Req's 26422 and 26448.
