Perhaps 'infect' is the wrong term (I know next to nothing about virues). Maybe it would have done ME no harm, but the SoBig critter was attached to some spurious bounced mail which the watcher insisted had been sent from my address.
Presumably, anyone actually receiving such spurious mail could become infected? If so, I would see my system as the source of their infection. A sort of healthy 'plague carrier' if you will.
Sobig and other email viruses typically spoof the sender address. The sender address is picked from database of email addreses, generated from local files like addressbook, www cache and such. Apparently someone who has your email address in his addressbook, or has browsed a website that has your email address embedded has the virus.
Basically this means these emails were NOT sent from your Amiga.
Your Amiga is not infected.
