Watch the mail logs on your internet connected mailservers and you'll see why
you should care. This virus is spreading like crazy.
I updated the postfix body checks to filter out specifically named zip
attachments. Even though the weakness is on the windows side, I'd prefer it
not to arrive at any of the clients who receive mail through our servers. And
not in my kmail mailbox either even though it has doesn't do any harm -- I
already spend enough time sorting out the daily spam crap.
