Subject: [Declude.Virus] Possible new
virus
We're seeing a lot of emails with
pword_change.zip attached. May want to block it in your
virus.cfg.
Subject is "Your new Password" All
so far were routed through gmx.net or web.de just before delivery, but are
originating from a variety of dial-up or broadband ISP
accounts.
