Yes, and I sent him/her the letter quoted below.

That letter was not delivered (due to mail quota, if I remeber cor-
rectly), so I wrote to the postmaster address given in their MTA's
error message. Again, that message bounced, allegedly because I were
trying to abuse their SMTP server as a relay (which I didn't, of
course). Weird.

---- My standard virus warning follows:

Dear Sir or Madam,

yesterday, you have sent me a copy of the BadTrans worm, cf.
<http://vil.nai.com/vil/virusSummary.asp?virus_k=99069>.

Please remove, asap, that worm from your computer so you
will no more contribute towards its spreading. Please install
a reliable antivirus program, such as F-Secure or McAfee
VirusScan, and always keep it up to date.

Best wishes,
   Otto Stolz
