    files with subject due to Sprintpcs security
    updates this message sent in a secure ZIP file. Those mails com in such
    bogus names [email protected], [email protected] \, etc. which all those
    attached files are virus/worm. DO NOT OPEN those attached files.

    Yup, I got one or two too to my JustThe.net account. I run an anti-virus
    scanner on all mail coming into and being sent from my mail server, but this
    new piece of crap (the virus, not my AV scanner was just released yesterday
    and sometimes it takes a day or two for the AV authors to catch up.

    Remember, y'all, be diligent about updating those virus definition files,
    no matter which AV product you use...

    I've a better idea: Don't let email with dangerous attachment types
    in in the first place. Yes, that now includes ".zip". Oh well.

    On a marginally related note: I had SPCS completely turn off text
    messaging. No more text-messaged spam. (One-per-night for three
    nights running was enough of that crap.)
