For few days my sprintpcs e-mail bobmbarded with e-mails with attachment
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.)
