Or a simple shell script that does:

But that's easy to block. Use random From addresses (and random To addresses
when aimed at the secondary MX servers) and it's slightly more difficult to

This is why when I wrote Postal I made sure it was easy to block accidental
or malicious DOS attacks. But I presume that the koenig.su people aren't
smart enough to know how to do that. ;)

If you use Outlook then please do not put my email address in your
