Thanks Kini,  for pointing  this out. On  seeing 50  odd spams
from the  same source  on list,  I got quite  cut up.  This is
criminal. Spamming  a mailing list  is the worst of  crimes. I
never thought  that this bloke  might actually want  to divert
gunfire to another territory. Actually, I almost developed RSI
hitting the  [del] key that many  times ! The DoS  attack idea
was therefore the first instinctive irate response !

I did  not investigate deeper,  and let go my  first reaction.
This bloke must be having a bot/ script running ... Meanwhile,
there needs  to be some  stricter policies for spam  bounce on
our otherwise spam free mailing list.
