I will conclude this topic with this warning:

I am afraid it might be little more serious then that, at least for you:

"This description is for a password stealing trojan which attempts to
steal user information for certain online games.

The characteristics of this password stealer with regards to passwords
stolen, sites accessed, files downloaded etc will differ, depending on
the way in which the attacker had configured it. Hence, this is a
general description."

So there is high possibility that your password for that webmail account
(and who knows what else) has been stolen, and owner of the Trojan
logged in by himself and he sent the mail to this list.

Guys, please take this off-list. Your personal PC & spam problems has NOTHING todo with CentOS, or anyone else on this list.
