For those who are wondering... it appears to me, from examining the logs,
that only Jim was affected by the erroneous blackhole.  Luckily, it is not a
widely used service.

The look at the logs raised my blood pressure a bit, as I saw all the
dictionary attacks by spammers.  It's unbelievable -- they send to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] from names from a to z.  Somebody needs to write an MTA
add-on that detects those kinds of attacks and blocks the source before they
get very far.  After about the 10th address that bounces, it's pretty clear
what's going on, especially when they're in alphabetical order and coming at
high speed.

I will now stop griping.
