According to the little I have read on this topic, one of the spam 
probes used by ORBZ triggered a known problem in Domino servers that 
then caused an infinite internal mail loop - hence DOS.

The "victim", understandably angry, probably decided that he had a 
much better chance of suing ORBZ or getting them charged than he 
would of suing IBM or getting a fix for the problem in Domino.

I hate to think what would happen if every Domino server on the net 
were to receive one of these loop inducers sent through some 
Taiwanese open relay no longer flagged by ORBZ.
