Strange e-mails coming, appear to be viruses

They're all really obvious, but I'm not sure how they're coming in. They typically look like this:

Dear user *name*,

You have successfully updated the password of your *domain* account.

If you did not authorize this change or if you need assistance with your account, please contact *domain* customer service at: administrator@*domain*

Thank you for using *domain*!
The *domain* Support Team

+++ Attachment: No Virus (Clean)
+++ *domain* Antivirus - www.*domain*.com


We also receive ones that are slightly different, and all have attachments (likely virus/worm)

Where are these coming from?

You can look into the message header of the mail; there should be a trail of servers, although they might be fake.

My sister who is on a DH account is also getting these. I am on a DH account and not getting them, either are any of my friends who are using DH. It may be just a coincidence that you (and my sister) happened to enter your email at a site which had their member info stolen. From there, it's easy to generate these fake emails with auto domain entries into certain fields. The attachements are definite virii and should be deleted immediately. Is everyone at your domain getting these?

Just 2 (of 6) address are getting them.

Very strange.
