This is a dangerous new variant of the Mydoom virus that was just
discovered today. DO NOT OPEN IT. The telltale sign is the signature
line "The <yourdomain> support team." Symantec rates it 3 out of 4 on
its hazard scale. More information:

I'm happy to see that the mba list server stripped the virus itself,
leaving only this empty shell. However, it should probably be set to
simply reject any message containing an attachment.
