Strange mail - maybe password stealing trojan

Hej!

I just stumbled over a doublebounce that I suspect to be the output of
some kind of trojan, perhaps some freeporn viewer/downloader. I could
not find any related info on deja^H^H^H^Hgoogle.com etc. According to
the logs, the first mail of that kind was sent through our servers on 6
Nov 2000. Here's the mail that bounced:

Return-Path: <john () email com>

Curiously, I could find only one PC sending mails with a reverse-path of
<john () email com> in our not so small network. Hence, I don't think that
supposed trojan is very widespread, but maybe still worth mentioning.
