Lisa C. wrote... help!!! this is happening to me right now... double or triples of each message [log in to unmask] Lisa, more likely than not, that may be some kind of system problem, rather than a personal attempt to harass you. When I think of an email bombing, I picture the ones I've had dumped on me that were 2000 and 2800 emails respectively... all requiring deletion and taking many hours to download. Each contained the same smut, AND each was lists as being SENT BY * ME* TO ME!! In other words, there's software out there available to the average hacker-type which will rob you of your private email account name and enable that hacker to send messages - including pornographic ones, to ANYONE on the Internet, under YOUR name! How do ya like THEM apples?
