There is no excuse for this nonsense. I received 834 messages in my mail box
since about midnight last night. Many of them were these stupid fax and
mailbox full messages. This amounts to nothing but denial of service attacks
IMO. It would seem to me the people who host this Majordomo list would be
somewhat responsible and ensure the software is configured correctly and works.
One simply cant run a list with a lot of members and somehow just throw the box
in the closet and forget about it. Mailing lists simply don't work that way.
