OK, if you're the one who has been sending any of the hundreds of
bounces claiming I sent a virus that I've gotten recently, take this
as a complaint.  Not only am I not sending viruses but the many of
the addresses used as the destination for the bounce have never been
used as a 'From:' address by anything (they are mailing lists that
are used only as a To: address and don't rewrite the From or insert
a Reply-To).
