I seem to remember a recent discussion about spamming :-)

That wasn't SPAM.
It wasnt sent to everyone on list.

It was a targeted Denial Of Service attack aimed at people who had sent you
email.
A blatent attempt to clog the senders email box :-))

Also as the messages were sent out quickly (or promptly)....
does that count as a "DOS Prompt" on Linux box <GROAN>

With that....I'm off to eat my sarnies
