Thanks for the analysis. Just looking at UWA's stats, its peak receipts
of Zafi.B appear to have been in second-last week of June (76000 in one
day, compared to 35000 on Friday and 24000 on Saturday). Maybe you were
just unlucky :-) <http://asclepius.uwa.edu.au/virus.html> I am, however,
receiving lots of extra spam at one of my unused address: the address
seems to receive sudden batches of about 30 messages, rather than a
steady stream. Maybe spammers are offering "off peak" rates to their
clients ;-)
