These messages are a new virus that is circulating through the Cornell e-mail system. Our PureMessage filtering servers are currently being updated to address this problem, so you should soon begin to see a dramatic decrease in the number of these messages you receive. Please do not be alarmed if you are receiving these messages from addresses familiar to you or are receiving messages from "Mailer-Daemon" saying that you are sending out these messages. Most of these messages are being "spoofed," meaning they are not really being sent from the e-mail address in the "From" line.
