Cus i have been sent an virus from abandonia@abandonia.com
Well, that's what happens when you have a popular or widespread email address. I receive around 300 spam emails every day, and some of them even come from abandonia@abandonia.com. Certainly I'm not sending out spam, let alone to myself, but as that address is generated by spam bots, it gets around a lot. Worms, however, work on the principle that they send themselves from spoofed email addresses so that is more difficult to trace the point of origin, and thus alarm the infected person. Obviously someone who has abandonia@abandonia.com in his / her address book is infected by this worm. Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it :?

I'll send emails from kosta@abandonia.com in the future
