I agree and to prove this you can check email headers to verify the IP address 
where the message comes from.

        yes you are correct.  Klez doesn't keep the real from address.. so it 
can be seen as it was sent from someone who is not infected

        I've had an influx of a few users who are receiving administrative
        notices from other servers that the emails they are sending out are
        infected with Klez. As you know Klez works by attaching to the "To"
        portion of the email ANY email address it finds in the addressbook of
        the infected user. So that it looks like it's coming from a different
        person that the one whose really infected. I've told my users that there
        systems are clean (I've run 2 different Klez detection utilities to
        confirm this) and that there unfortunately isn't anything I can do as
        the infected person could be anyone who has ever sent them an email
        address. Am I correct in this regard?
