Virus? Trojan?

So far today, I've received two email messages from
kbl-zrz2519.zeelandnet.nl [62.238.233.233]
which, apparently, claimed in its HELO message to *be*
our local MX (which of course was who it was talking TO).
Sounds to me like a bug in the sending software.
The other thing these messages had in common was a
33KB .scr ("screen saver") executable attachment.
Norton doesn't recognize this as a known threat, but
I don't want to be the first to learn the hard way what
it does.
MAYBE this is just ill-conceived and poorly-written
spam. Maybe it's something more serious. Anybody know
one way or the other?
