Probably everyone who wrote to the list.

I'm not. I'm definitely inhumane to such-)


Since I control the box where my mail for this account arrives, I 
inserted a firewall. Its one rule is to reject connexions from that source.

Since I have no backup MX for the domain I figure that's the last I 
hear, at least until next reboot.

On reflection, it might be fun to deflect the connexion back:-) Cause 
mail loops or bounces back to himself. Hopefully it would
a) Alert them there's a problem
b) Cause some puzzlement. Unless they read this.
