The K l e z virus fakes the "from" address from something the 
infectee has gotten or sent, so it's likely that the infectee didn't 
send it to the list.  I get piles of returned mails that supposedly 
came from my email address containing the v i r u s.  Can't happen, 
I'm on a Mac and it's a PC infection...
