don't count on it.  I know of at least three machines in the
cyberpromo domain that are sending BIFF packets to our subnet every
time they get a mail message.  The village has been hit with hundreds
of thousands of these things over the last several months.  We've
tried everything we can think of to make them stop, and still they
keep coming.

Ideas?  Can we call the DA or the FBI for a DoS attack?
