From the minimal headers in your forwarded email, it "looks like"
mark@bish.net was the source of an email worm (which I'm not buying).
That is a valid slug list subscriber - I'm assuming the worm in question
sent mail using his email address. Can you forward me the full message
headers?
The attachment was caught by our MailAssistant: it's a 29568 byte
executable masquerading as a .pif file.
So RoadRunner is blocking mail to you that we've marked and cleaned as a
message containing a potential virus attachment? How do they "block" the
message? I'm intrigued.
