      So far today, I've received two email messages from
    
    kbl-zrz2519.zeelandnet.nl [62.238.233.233]
    
    which, apparently, claimed in its HELO message to *be*
    our local MX (which of course was who it was talking TO).
    Sounds to me like a bug in the sending software.
    
      The other thing these messages had in common was a 
    33KB .scr ("screen saver") executable attachment.
    Norton doesn't recognize this as a known threat, but
    I don't want to be the first to learn the hard way what
    it does.
    
      MAYBE this is just ill-conceived and poorly-written 
    spam.  Maybe it's something more serious.  Anybody know
    one way or the other?
