Here, yesterday, 93 of 102 came from hosts in Spamhaus Zen and were
rejected for that reason.

3 more bounced because envelope sender was mailer-dae...@columbia.edu
instead of <>. That's a useful local rule.


That doesn't leave many left to analyze, but it's enough to report
variations in the attachment:

transcript.scr in transcript.zip
letter.doc                           .scr in letter.zip
file.pif in file.zip
mail.scr in mail.zip

Very old-school, using pif and scr file extensions and the name with
a lot of spaces in it (actually more spaces than I show here).  We
started refusing mail with pif and scr files ages ago. It's almost
like a very old virus that got reactivated somehow. How many email
viruses do you even see these days?

Did antivirus provide a name for this thing?
