I think you'll find that the bit at the bottom of your apache .conf file was
auto-generated from your Tomcat implemntation, based on files it finds in
your Tomcat webapps directory. Your webapps directory has some .eml files,
so Tomcat auto-generates the Apache conf to go with it.

So the infection was no more serious than the standard littering of .eml
files everywhere.
