How can a virus be sent from here?



I received a message from our ISP stating the following:

----
Antigen for Exchange found aCrumb.pif infected with VIRUS= I-Worm.Klez.h
(Kaspersky,Sophos) worm.
The message is currently Purged.  The message, "Unescape(aCrumb", was
sent from kaynjay  and was discovered in SMTP Messages\Inbound
located at Beckett Publications/Dallas/S00EXCHANGE01.

http://www.beckett.com <http://www.beckett.com/>
----

I have a gateway/mail server/firewall on my old 486 with pppd, etc.  I
searched all mail for "aCrumb" on that machine and this one (the only other
I have internally), including the Win partition (which doesn't get used for
that stuff anyway), with no results.

I wrote the postmaster asking for a copy of the message's information (if it
exists, since the above mentions the message being purged..).

Not being geekish, I don't know how to look for other possibilities.  Could
someone be bouncing stuff off of our address (not a fixed one AFAIK), or
could the other box (pure Woody) be compromised? 

Thanks,


Kenward
