Hello,
I wonder if anyone can throw some light on this.
I get a *lot* of emails addressed to non-existant users
on my domain "raggedclown.net". They all follow a pattern

A single alphabetic character followed by 3 numbers.
e.g. a1025, b3471

Now why is is anyone doing this ? These are very unlikely names,
and non of the normal aliases are tried. I don't think it is a DoS
either, since although they come in bursts they are usually in groups of
up to 7 or so...and not every day..which is not going to grind me to a halt.

I am curious as to the motive.
