You have received spam email that may contain a virus or trojan in the zip attachment. Investigation is pointless due to the sheer amount of messages of this nature. Perform the basics of a trace on the email yourself by looking at the message header (via Message Options in Outlook, or 'Info' if you have a right-click option depending on your mail client). Find the IP address, typically in the 'Received' field.

I just got one of these DHL messages today (which is what brought me to your post) and the originating IP address is 200.110.46.78. Checking this at What Is My IP (http://www.whatismyip.com), I can see that the ISP who owns/manages this IP address is Nextel Del Peru S.A. The header info supports this as I can see the mail server there listed as 'HELO 78.46.110.200.dyn.nextel.net.pe'. So, even though this may not be the source of the email, we know it was at least purposely routed through a South American server. This is unlikely to be something DHL would do!

You can take things further by learning more about tracing these sorts of emails on various web forums. What Is My IP has their own one for just this purpose:
