John,

It was an EXE file.  Pretty much all zip viruses are these days.  I only received 8 of these in a 15 minute period and then it was over with for at least that one variant.  I am guessing that gmx.de is aware of the issue and taking steps to prevent it.  Shame on them for being exploitable as a relay (plenty of others like Yahoo and HotMail also should share some blame for lax procedures).

I have one thing to add however.  This one came from gmx.net as well as gmx.de.

Same servers, but this time it has a Regis.info.zip attachment and the subject is "Registration Confirmation".

Basically I converted to blocking any zips below 200 KB that come from these providers with some filtering and it seems to be working.
