Email Issues

Hi All

Something weird has been happening the last three days. We have been getting 
mails that look like the NetSky virus (smae text and attachments), to a certain mailboxs, but the weird thing is 
that the .zip attachment is 78 Bytes, the actual virus .zip file is 22,016 
bytes. Another things is our Mailsweeper is set to block all .zip files but 
this one is getting through. I did a test and sent a mail with a normal .zip 
attachment to this mail box and it got blocked. Has anyone seen this or 
have any ideas on what its all about?

Thanks in advance.

Sean
