Mail.Zip Virus??

In the last few days I have received "SMTP MAIL UNDELIVERED" emails, all with a mail.zip attachment pyrporting to be the "text" of the undeliverable mail.

These have originated primarily in Italy from Volare, AlpiEagles and assortd other aviation companies.

Anyone else had them?

If not beware!!

I've had a couple with .zip attachments from:

<<[email protected]>> <<couldn't deliver>>

<<[email protected]>> <<your password>>

Both addressed to an e-mail address other than mine - but I received them.

Deleted both without opening zipfile.

Loads of these new virus files being sent. They mainly appear to refer to either undelivered emails, or from the 'CIA'.

Lotus Notes has so far deleted over a dozen in the last 24 hours - shame I seem to be so popular!!

Same here guys, this computer and E-mail address has never been on a one of these sites, since here in KSA everything is blocked and runs through some kind of fanatic proxy in RUH.
Yet in 3 days I have had over 50 e-mails with this same 75 kb package.
Lucky they all go to the junk e mail folder on hotmail.
