Re: VIRUS OUTBOUND .pif file attachment

["Stevo" <checkpoint () ozbergs com>]

Erek,

When I click on the details of the event this is what I see (the email must
have cut off this section):

So this shows the email being send from extra () eDiets com to
corporate () imandi com (which is our email domain).  So the email is actually
from an outside source and being send inbound??

This is where I'm getting confused!
