Virus? Trojan?

  So far today, I've received two email messages from

kbl-zrz2519.zeelandnet.nl [62.238.233.233]

which, apparently, claimed in its HELO message to *be*
our local MX (which of course was who it was talking TO).
Sounds to me like a bug in the sending software.

  The other thing these messages had in common was a 
33KB .scr ("screen saver") executable attachment.
Norton doesn't recognize this as a known threat, but
I don't want to be the first to learn the hard way what
it does.

  MAYBE this is just ill-conceived and poorly-written 
spam.  Maybe it's something more serious.  Anybody know
one way or the other?
