SoberQ virus is a sobering reminder.

It seems that with the awakening of the SoberQ virus we have a new kind of virus that generates email. In previous viruses, Klez for example, it created email will no valid content and wasn't RFC compliant, and even spoofed senders and recipients. The SoberQ virus apparently sends email that is RFC compliant so many spam filters miss it. Spam Soap, what I use for work and for home email, catches it, and was catching it very shortly after the outbreak occured over the weekend for the US.
