Jeff (& millerjv),
     So that means the virus fakes the MAIL FROM: and From: fields?
If so, sorry for the scare.  I was hasty in stating you were infected.
 From the headers of the "Test" message, the sender's IP address was
202.175.58.14, for which rDNS is not available.  That IP is under the
perview of Macau University of Science and Technology (c.f.,
http://www.apnic.net/apnic-bin/whois.pl?searchtext=202.175.58.14 ).

     Are any list subscribers at Macau University?  If so, make sure
your anti-virus software is up-to-date, and scan for viruses.
