The reply address was once the mailing-list address,
but some weekend long ago an autoresponder answered to
the mailinglist that some subscriber was out-of-the-office.
This reply was send to the subscriber whose mailsystem
autoresponded that the subscriber was out-of-the-office.

...

Before we knew it, hundreds of mails were send to
hundreds of subscribers in only a few hours time.

I don't know if the mailing-lists @ Sourceforge are
protected against this kind of problem. They weren't
back then...
