RE: Testing ZIP File Attachment [virus check ok]
I sent twice a .zip: the first time it contained a virus signature and, as I
had the same suspicion, the second time it was exactly like the one you sent
successfully. Both times the message came back without the .zip attachment
but with a .txt attachement containing the "To unsubscribe, e-mail: ..."
with a name like ATT00068.txt.
Now with this message I will try to attach the same zip (IsInfected.zip)
sent previously by Steve. Let's see what happens.
