Unless our parents know each other, I'd say it probably is. :)

I've checked the full header for one of the virus-messages I've received, and found the following email address mentioned: "daddyg@algxmail.com". I also found a reference to "apolloheatingventilatingcorp". Does that sound familiar to anyone?

The account I use to access this list comes from Mail.com, so I don't even use Outlook in any way with it. If these mails are coming from a virus-infected computer, it may mean that whomever it is that has the virus has the both of us in their Address Book. Or, as you suggest, it could be someone using our email addresses.

I suggest we take this off-list after this, and simply assure everyone on the list that if they receive a virus-email, it isn't actually coming from us.
