This particular situation is rare. The "From:" name is a valid
subscriber to this list and that's why the message wasn't rejected, but
the message didn't come from that person.

I wanted to make sure our subscribers 1) didn't think the virus came
from the person whose name is on the message, 2) took precautions with
the message (I recommended deleting it so it wouldn't be accidentally
opened in the future), and 3) understood the mechanics of how the
message got onto the list.

Viruses on this list are rare (I don't remember another one).
