New Version of MyDoom Worm in Zero-Day Attack - "The worm, known as MyDoom.ag in McAfee's naming, does not have a file attachment, as is typical of mail worms. Instead, it installs a Web server on Port 1639 of the infected system. The e-mails it sends out to spread itself contains a link to the server on the infected computer."

I'm already seeing this on the CALI mail server with infected messages coming from .edu domains.  There appear to be a t least two variants out there.

Here are vendor links:

Trend

Symantec

Sophos
