Folks,

Yes there are some amazing viruses or whatever you want to call them 
running amuck. Check out the following its pretty interesting. I've not 
included the header info, but its the text of the message that I find 
slightly amusing.
Note there is no attachment so don't be alarmed by what you read.


Subject: Notify about your e-mail account utilization.
From: support at lrxms.net

Dear user of Lrxms.net gateway  e-mail  server,

Our main mailing server will  be temporary unavaible  for next two days,
to continue receiving mail in  these days you  have  to configure our  
free
auto-forwarding  service.

For details see  the attach.

Best  wishes,
    The Lrxms.net  team                             http://www.lrxms.net

The part that is amusing to me is I didn't know I had a support team, I 
didn't know I had a mail server/gateway, and well although lrxms.net is 
my domain, I don't have a web page at http://www.lrxms.net. I am very 
interested in this virus all the same for what its doing. Clever!
