A new virus is on the loose and it’s hammering my email account. Meg first noticed it a few days ago; she was getting 800+ messages every few hours. I’m not getting quite that many, but my email volume is nearly double what it was last week. W32/Zafi.b@MM or a close variant seems to be the culprit. The good thing is that Mail.app’s junk mail filter is handling the virus-generated spam like a champ…almost none of the new messages is reaching my inbox.
