But I didn't report anything :) I even gave up quick reporting a while 
ago. You know what? Serverlogistics is also a spamcop customer (as 
company) I guess. Their mail got Spamcop blocking list enabled.

Sorry for late reply as even Eudora lost its mind while trying to get 
these mails. I digged it's mailbox file, pasting here (all identical)

When trying to deliver your message, the mail server at 
serverlogistics.com encountered
problems with the following addresses:

For <[email protected]>, Open Error 0sec (553 Your IP address 
67.43.163.77 is blackholed by bl.spamcop.net. Please see

OK now I understand what happened! It is the worst thing can ever 
happen. I had a mail for him from Novell Myrealbox before. I somehow 
enabled

'When this account receives an incoming email, send a notification 
email to the address below:"

to his myrealbox account. So, when he gets mail,notification is sent to 
myrealbox, myrealbox bounces mail to his mail.... Bah, endless cycle.

What prevented me from figuring it out is, even Eudora lost its mind 
while trying to get/cache 12000 mails.

I will notify serverlogistics admin about this amazing possibility. 
Looks like it is serverlogistics flooding its own customer.

Thank you Mike for waking me up! I was about to take down site as I 
suspected the PHP mail form is hacked or something!

Really thanks

Ilgaz

So is it normal to get that mail to a normal user (not even 
[email protected]) as admin of entire serverlogistics?
