>>> Any sort of automated response based on perceived >>> sender IP address is not only brain-dead, but irresponsible. In the case of Sobig, it's the return email address which is false. The bogus warning messages are being sent to these forged email addresses. The originating IP address in the email headers of a Sobig message should be accurate in most cases. Sobig talks directly to the SMTP server for the email address that Sobig is sending a copy of itself to.
