I received some e-mails about two weeks ago from some mail servers that 
had bounced some messages that *seemed* to originate from me.  I never 
sent the messages in the first place, and since I'm running Linux, I 
seriously doubt I'm infected :).   Apparently this worm likes to send 
emails under other people's names.  That's a good way to make it 
difficult to find the 'real' infected machine, not to mention get people 
angry at each other!  Just don't freak out if you get one of these 
messages bounced to you--it may mean someone else is infected and has 
your name in his/her addressbook.

Apparently it's pretty virulent on campus here, too.
