That's slimy. Somebody attempted to send me a virus disguised as bounced mail from my postmaster. On the one hand, it's less effective than the ones claiming to be updates for virus software, because fewer people know what to do with postmaster messages and most probably just delete them out of hand. On the other hand, it's another evolutionary step among the obnoxious segment of the net population, and that can't be good.

I use a Mac, so this is all rather academic for me...

And I read email with a text-based mailer (pine) on a Unix box, so this is purely of academic interest for me too. (And my provider recently started running virus scans on all incoming mail, for their customers who don't read it on the Unix machine, so I didn't actually get the sucker anyway.)
