I recently got this e-mail, supposedly from support@allakhazam.com

Quote:
Dear Allakhazam Member,

We have temporarily suspended your email account azuarc@allakhazam.com.

This might be due to either of the following reasons:

1. A recent change in your personal information (i.e. change of address).
2. Submiting invalid information during the initial sign up process.
3. An innability to accurately verify your selected option of subscription due to an internal error within our processors.
See the details to reactivate your Allakhazam account.

Sincerely,The Allakhazam Support Team


Obviously, if I'm getting this e-mail, and I'm considered site staff, I'm not getting my e-mail suspended without being explained exactly why. Further, there's no reason why it would take a 107k zip file to explain it to me. Plain and simple, it's a virus, which a quick scan confirmed.

However, because this seems to have been written specifically for those associated with this site, I would appreciate it if anyone getting this e-mail reply here so I know if we need to put up a news item or if this is just me.

Those unfortunatly go out fairly often. there are a couple of viruses out in the workd that try and spoof our site due to the amount of traffic it recieves.
