The important thing to note here is that mail from john at yourdomain or
james at yourdomain with an accompanying photos.zip/readnow.zip file is coming
from the Mimail.C/G worm, not someone misusing your domain name. Unless you
actually have users named john/james you should be blocking mail from both
totally.
