I really do not know how to stop that.  Anyone can register and send a message to all.

I looked at the headers and the "coupons" message says

   Reply-To: [email protected]

which is a valid subscriber.  We do have both anti-spam and anti-virus software in 
the server, but sometimes things get through.  It looks like rhubarbpieguy has a 
compromised system.

Bottom line, never click on an attachment or link unless you really know what it is 
in advance.
