I don't know whether there actually _is_ a virus that does it, but I
don't know why there shouldn't be one, because it's so easy:

- Get addresses, sender address and outgoing SMTP server from Outlook
(or Notes or whatever)
- Connect to the outgoing SMTP, port 25 and from there it's just a
formality.

No mail program involved, nothing showing up in any 'sent' folders.
