I've also received the same "Your email was blocked" spam / virus emails 
from another IP :

Received: from vnyqvy.com (drake-197-183.drake.edu [207.28.197.183])

... and I know there are a few Drakies subscribed.

If you insist on running Outlook (I can't think of a single good 
reason...), please get yourself a good AntiVirus / Spyware application too.
