try to upgrade it to the most recent one, and install a firewall. also if your not expecting a file form FWR team, do not open it if you get one. i made that mistake once when i used to  run Windows 2000 Technical Edition....

its happend before,a virus gets into the server and then someones email  account and mailing list,and then duplicates itself onward,this is how it spreads itself,disguised as a recognizable sender.

Someone has the fishingwithrod in their email address book, as well as yours.  The virus picks one as the "from" address, and the other as the "to" address.  Nothing to do with the server.  Everything to do with an infected member.  ::)

if you purge out your email address list (delete all), re-boot, and then add them back, this can often get rid of this problem....
