A new "social engineering" virus is going around which sends messages that
pretend to be from system administrators of various mail servers, including
sunmanagers.org The message is allegedly to the user of e-mail server
"Sunmanagers.org", and claims that your email account has been disabled, that
the server will be temporarily unavailable, that your account is the source
of a virus, or some other similar claim. It tells you that you should open
and run the attachment, which is a password-protected zip file containing a
windows executable virus.
Happily, our mailing list strips off the attachment, so you won't actually
get this virus from us.
For more detail on this particular virus, see:

John
