Some ISP's have a program that assigns the name postmaster to email coming in when it relays it. It almost sounds like the ISP could have a virus on their mail box, not a good proposal.... But just nuke the mail. Also if you EVER recieve a file from someone via email and when you hilight the mail it pops up wanting to open it, DELETE it. Even if you are expecting the file. Its a favorite tactic of virus writers. I should know I've fixed just over 100 computers in the last week with the Klez virus. If you aren't sure but think you may have a virus go to housecall.antivirus.com and scan your computer over the net. If you have McCaffe, or Nortons or the like update it at least once a week.
