[NTLUG:Discuss] is this possible

[fredjame]

I run a Mandrake Linux 9.1 desktop, and that is where my Mozilla mail 
client is.
I just received an email containing the message below - suggesting that 
I sent a message containing Win32/Sobig.F.Trojan to mhti at pct.edu.
Beyond the fact that I don't know anyone with that address and haven't 
sent such a message, and that I know I address could easily faked into a 
message sent from almost any MS machine, is it possible for this virus 
to be using my Linux machine as a base of opperations?
