Ryan,
I don't have a solution for you, but I too have experienced the same
symptoms but to a lesser degree than you. The e-mail address it happened
to sits behind a firewall that has antivirus software on it in addition
to my own antivirus. I received a message from the postmaster that an
address was unrecognized. The message and address were not created by
me, nor were they familiar to me. I could not identify any particular
virus activity associated with this. My conclusion was, as yours, that
somehow a message was sent as a relay through our SMTP server and used
my e-mail address as the source. Since we use authentication for
sending, I am not sure how this could have been done. I too wonder if
others have experiences of this sort.
Peter

In the last week, I have also gotten 5 e-mails saying that an e-mail I
sent couldn't be delivered and has reference to the klez virus in it.
All of these of course, give the e-mail address they were supposedly
originally sent to and from. They were supposedly from me
([log in to unmask]), but none of the 5 supposed to be recipients are
e-mails that I even recognize. I have about 150 addresses in my address
book, but none of the ones that I supposedly sent are in my address book
and nobody has said that they've gotten a virus from me that I do write
to. I don't believe I am infected and that the virus is going through
my address book because of this.
