In the case of viruses with their own built in mail software, there isn't a great deal of point in emailing anybody (or their postmaster) whose name is mentioned in the message. That's becuase both the sender and recipient addresses have been stolen out of the real victim's addressbook (who is very difficult to identify from the information that is easily available.

The most common culprits in this category are:
  • Klez
  • Yaha
  • Gibe/Swen
  • Sobig
