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.
