Dear julian,
  these are lines from the NAI website

> The attachment must be run manually to infect the local system.  Additionally, messages sent by the virus contain the following fields
>
>     * X-MailScanner: Found to be clean
>     * X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000
>
> The virus sends itself via its own SMTP engine, which requires an ESMTP server to send itself successfully.  The virus does an MX lookup on the target domain (ie. when sending itself to user at domain.com, it sends though the servers specified in the MX record for domain.com).

:-) Are you going to be famous ? :-)
Bye.
