David,  I have,  and no virus is found.  I am relying on the
following from Symantec as the reason why my machine
is clean,  even though I do get these messages from
the "postmaster":

"If you are using a current version of Norton AntiVirus, have the 
most recent virus definitions, and a full system scan with Norton 
AntiVirus set to scan all files does not find anything, you can be 
confident that your computer is not infected with this worm.

There have been several reports that, in some cases, if you 
receive a message that the virus has sent using its own 
SMTP engine, the message appears to be a "postmaster 
bounce message" from your own domain. For example, if 
your email address is [email protected], you could 
receive a message that appears to be from 
[email protected], indicating that you attempted 
to send email and the attempt failed. If this is the false 
message that is sent by the virus, the attachment includes 
the virus itself. Of course, such attachments should not be 
opened."

The above describes exactly the most frequent sort of message
with the v within which I recv.

73,  Jim
