Spoof e-mail?

Hi

I found the following e-mail in my spam folder from root@localhost.i4gate Ive never sent an e-mail to the supposed recipient. What is the person trying to do? Id be interested to know what goes on here:

"A virus was found in an Email message you sent. (I didn't)
This Email scanner intercepted it and stopped the entire message
reaching its destination.

The virus was reported to be:

Worm.SomeFool.Q
<----is this a known virus?


Please update your virus scanner or contact your IT support
personnel as soon as possible as you have a virus on your system.


Your message was sent with the following envelope:

MAIL FROM: (my e-mail address)
RCPT TO: sommers@vt4.net
(never heard of them)

... and with the following headers:

---
MAILFROM: (my e-mail address)
Received: from host217-44-122-158.range217-44.btcentralplus.com (HELO vt4.net) (217.44.122.158)
