how would this worm get a email address and domain that I have never used.
What are the odds in that? Very strange.

I just found it interesting the correlation of the forged envelope sender
(Return-Path), of the group, to an email address that I have never once
used, rather than my list address and domain, which is harvested all the
time.

I also get this junk all the time, but it is blocked at the SMTP level
from my servers. In fact, any MS executable is rejected, written into the
SMTP code, does not even make it to virus checker.
