Re: Strange undeliverable mail.. for a message I did not send

Just to let you know about this reply I received supposedly from
postmaster@debian.org (supposedly, since I doubt postmaster automated
replies are in HTML as this reply is). The strange thing is that I never
sent this message. Seems that spammers are not only poisining our e-mail
addresses, but also forging our names to do that.
The mentioned attachment is a highly suspicious 'button.bat' file. Let
me know if the headers can be of interest.
Probably a virus, with forged from: and envelope data. There is nothing
really efficient to do, except convincing users NOT to use Outlook and
other similar mass-destruction mailers.
What really sounds strange to me is that is not a common virus, it has
emulated a message using two 'from' and 'to' forged Debian addresses
(mine and Luca's), and then has sent a message about a supposed
undeliverable mail forging the Debian postmaster address (I highly doubt
the postmaster auto-replier send html messages).
Seems too addressed to Debian.
