Exchange 2000/Norton Antivirus question.

[oneill]

I am seeing alot of the following warnings from my antivirus software. I do not have an email account setup for "postmaster" Which I understand could be spoofed. Please exlain.

Sender of the infected attachment: postmaster@fisd.org Recipient of the infected attachment: EXCHANGE, First Storage Group\Mailbox Store (EXCHANGE), SMTP (EXCHANGE-{8DA0A3A7-DFAD-4474-86F5-C5AB7DF667C4})/NON_IPM_SUBTREE/TempTable%231/%233
Subject of the message:
One or more attachments were deleted.
Attachment data.zip was Deleted for the following reasons:
Virus W32.Novarg.A@mm was found.
Virus W32.Novarg.A@mm was found in data.pif.

It's someone(s) attempting to send an email to the postmaster account with the virus as an attachment. Whether or not it exists is another matter, as if it doesn't, the email will simply end up in your \badmail folder. Symantec gets first whach at the incoming emails to scan for virus/worms.
