I am starting to wonder if some jerk somewhere subscribed one of the
freebsd lists to this spam? I sent them email and they said that someone
was doing this to them and that it was under investigation. I think a
mailbomb might backfire and cause a lot of us to get a lot more junk in
the ol' mailbox.
