A new SPAM/Scam trend is hitting users all over the internet. Beware of email messages like the following:
From: YourDomain.com support
Subject: setting for your mailbox you@yourdomain.com are changed
Message: SMTP and POP3 servers for you@yourdomain.com mailbox are changed. Please carefully read the attached instructions before updating settings.
Attachment: either a zip file, or sometimes a link to a zip file, often on google groups.
DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT! IT IS A VIRUS.
Immediately delete and/or mark the message as spam. If you do not open the attachment, you are safe from the virus, but opening it can harm your computer.
For our email hosting customers, we are looking into steps we can take to help our spam filters find the messages and stop them from appearing in your inbox. They are arriving frequently for many users at this time. The spam filters are improving but are still not getting them all. We will be doing anything we can to help lower the volume of spam, however it may take some time for the spam filters to learn about this new trend.
Thank you for your patience
