Yeah, I received the same, with different numbers. Very odd.

Message ID for mine was:

Message-ID: <mbjbktzlzgnqyfejggf@tcd.ie>

homah_7ft · 06-06-2006 8:31pm

I sent myself the same thing from my work addy to my work addy.

wheres me jumpa · 06-06-2006 8:38pm

A site im runnng was getting mails from it self before and it was explained to me that somebody was using the email address to send spam. BUt the emails i was getting back then were failures and were clearly spam.

This is an email to myself and its non sensical.

feylya · 06-06-2006 8:40pm

Got the same thing to my work email with the same numbers

Weird.

Stephen · 06-06-2006 10:04pm

Probably some stupid mass mailer virus out there, we got a heap of these with different strings of numbers in work today.

Dooom · 06-06-2006 10:28pm

Yeah I got one of those today aswell, seems a bit disturbing.
Numbers I got were;

So, Jason Miller and I did some more digging and we have confirmed this
is a new Tooso/Beagle variant released a few days ago. It appears to be
retrieving lists of email addresses and spamming them, and if the spam
attempt does not result in an SMTP error, it will save the address to a
"known-good" list and eventually upload that to a remote location. The
numbers in the subject and body are randomly selected from a small
hardcoded list (2 choices for the subject, 5 for the body). Nothing to
indicate the significance of the specific numbers chosen, however.
