er, and you're not making your mind or aren't you making your mind about it or 
not?

 Joseph,

I haven't seen much of these kind in years and none in javascript but I'd 
suspect either a
broken bot (cron or evil) or a real attempt to break something, I'd also 
suspect some
weak clients to be able to do bad things (TM) from it and I'd also suspect that 
the eXchange
system like in your test once tried to not be vulnerable to it and finally 
decided to simply
reject instead of repairing ;-)
