You might want to be careful about that last part;
that virus run a month or two ago (sobig? don't remember which one) 
grabbed address books and used them as fake 
from lines. I actually got a copy that had the return 
address of someone I knew, even though the machine it 
came from had nothing to do with either of us
so far as we could tell. 

I also got bounces telling me some infected pc tried
to send a copy with my address as the originator to 
Mitch Kapor, among other folks. Sigh.
