Understand about "ping" mail. Doesn't explain the high volume of such messages to single addresses. And the latest round isn't the only one. I've seen 3 other instances where upwards of 20 test messages are sent to a single address over a week. Not all from these instances are from the same source. Might be some faulty spammer software out there :) Darryl (Dassa) Lynch.
