Re: More mass bounced emails...

 Got another huge boatload of bounced emails today from 
 trinettejohn...@fuse.net - some dating as far back
 as August of last year. This also happened around April 19 of this year.

Maybe the mechanics are like this: some robot sends our G-list
postings to that Fusenet address (postmas...@fuse.net) which then gets
overloaded and sends us a The user(s) account is temporarily over
quota message for each of those postings.
(Fortunately, mine are promptly moved to my spam folder. Google Mail
isn't perfect, but on such occasions, I'm really happy about it!)

So it looks like this is in fact an attack aimed at fuse.net rather
than at us; the originator uses our posts as ammunition to try and
overload their server.
