After I emailed the note to Meredith, concerning their server which was sending bounce messages to me - hundreds of them - even though they knew (or should have known) I wasn't the culprit, I got this response (I have not corrected the spelling):
Geoff, Thanks for raising the issue of the SoBig virus infection. From the information that you have provided, it does look like the infected machine is located at Jeter Cook & Jepson Architecs, Inc. of Harford, CT. Their contact information is provided below.

Dan,
You misunderstand. In my case, Meredith is the guilty party. You are the
ones sending these hundreds of emails to me. And, you're sending them to me

Why should I be the person contacting JCJ? I have nothing to do with this
at all. It is your server which is improperly set to respond to these
messages that you know are bogus.
You must take action to stop this before close of business today.

Maybe I should just forward all the messages to him? I'm not sure what to
