It looks like the minder remailer is under attack - I've gotten about 20 messages with little or not content, and a small zip file attached.
Don't feel picked on. I've noticed about 20/day... About 220 since Aug 19th. Symptoms are: A "Content-Type: application/x-compressed;" size of 0 or 8 bytes. File, so far, is ALWAYS a .zip with names like "payment.zip", "funny.zip", "account-details.zip", "test.zip"... May have some text designed to get you to open the .zip... The message is supposed to be from your ISP complaining about your account. Personally, I think it is a virus with a 'bug' because my virus filters have caught about the same number with much larger payloads. Regards, Gregory Hicks
