Hi Dale,

I just got a number of that same message from my Earthlink account. I think it's some sort of virus since it tells you to open a zipped file.

Subject: [NTLK] Mac.com Question

I realize this is not newton related but since a lot of other listers
apparently use mac.com too, here goes.

Anyone else see this recently and if so is it for real? The email
came with an as of yet unopened email file with my mac.com address
zipped.

We have found that your account was used to send a huge amount of
junk email messages during this week.
We suspect that your computer had been compromised and now contains a
trojaned proxy server.

We recommend that you follow instructions in the attached file in
order to keep your computer safe.

Best wishes,
The mac.com team.
