We've got a customer who is receiving 1 message per second! that

As far as I can see, it's coming from hijacked accounts all over the
place (hundreds or thousands of servers) with varying sender addresses.
Is anyone else seeing this sort of thing?
We had a compromised account doing this last weekend! CanIt caught a
few of the outgoing messages, and I soon blocked the account. The email
were initially all going to a single gmail and a single ebay account.
Later messages (all blocked) branched out to hotmail, and a few others.
No idea what is up with this? I am curious, is there a reason the
customer might be harassed in this way?
