How stupid do they think I am?!

From a bogus "support" address:

Dear user, the management of Uj.edu mailing system wants to let you know
that,

Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail content)
outgoing from your e-mail account. Probably, you have been infected by
a proxy-relay trojan server. In order to keep your computer safe,
follow the instructions.

For more information see the attached file.

Have a good day,

Oh, I'm sure it's a virus (or would have been if they'd remembered to attach the file). I'm mildly amused by the "here, this will fix your virus" ploy (when I don't have a virus and didn't send them mail). I guess there are still enough people out there who'll fall for this that it's worth it to them to send such mail. Shrug.

There are enough people that will fall for it that it's posing a serious problem for network administrators. :(
