Take a look at the message headers/source and it'll tell you where it's coming from.

I dont think there's a point trying to trace it back, it replicates itself too fast. I was swamped with the sobig.f virus, and could do nothing but wait for it to self-destruct.
It would be like emailing me to tell me i'm spreading a virus and i wouldnt even be aware of it, your email is totally hijacked.
