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. -- Neil Neil Herber, RGD Corporate info at http://www.eton.ca/ Eton Systems, 15 Pinepoint Drive, Nepean, ON, Canada K2H 6B1 Tel: (613) 829-4668 ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
