Virus or exchange fluke

I have three users that have recieved mail that was mailed from their exchange account to themselves. The sbuject is 3-6 random numbers and the body of the text is 3-6 different random numbers. There is no attachment on the e-mail.

All computers run CA etrust anti-virus software. I've also ran trend micro's anti-virus scan on each computer. The computers scan clean of viruses. In additon all incomming and outgoing e-mail is scanned by macfee and has detected no viruses.

I'm running exchange 2003. Neither the clients nor the exchange server are showing any signs of having problems.

I also tracked the mail and can see where it was sent from their user account so I know the e-mail is not a spoof

Is this a new virus or an exchange problem?

"I also tracked the mail and can see where it was sent from their user account so I know the e-mail is not a spoof"

If you are 100% sure about this, then I would think an Exchange glitch or problem.

Update: On another list I belong to, people have been complaining about similar emails with random numbers in the subject and body. Seems to be spoofed email, not from a local virus and not a fault with Exchange. You might want to double-check the mail headers carefully.

I can go in the exchange message tracking center and see where the e-mails are being sent by the local users. Also I cheched the exchange smtp logs and verified the same info.
