As you can see, the message isn't from SquirrelMail but from a SMTP
server. If <abcd@abcd.com> is the intended recipient there shouldn't be
anything wrong with your SquirrelMail installation. If you've written some
other recipient address and then had it changed into <abcd@abcd.com> by
the mail system it might be (although not very likely) a problem with your
SquirrelMail installation.

Shouldn't be a SquirrelMail problem then.

Doesn't sound like a virus to me. More likely a configuration change
somewhere between your SMTP server and the recipients SMTP server. Note
that this might be out of your control. The administrator of the SMTP
server sending you the error message should be able to help you with this.
