I am getting a whole load of Emails purporting to be coming from my mocgb.net domain (from a email address I don't use, eg postman or office)

They include the WORM_SOBER.AG virus, and are trying to send it to a load of people at unipart.co.uk .

Why is this happening ?
Is it something I should take action on ?
How can I stop it ?

I saw from your earlier explaination to look for an IP address it was sent from, I could n't see anything.

I've forwarded it directly to you Andrew. The Sun Virus scanner should have removed the dangerous attachment.

I really need the original message not forwarded so I can see the headers.

I don't appear to get the headers, as it's been processed by the Sun Virus checker.

Well without the full headers it's hard to see what's going, quickly grepping the exim_mainlog shows the mail isn't originating from your server however.
