This spam flood is kinda hilarious in a way. Any idea why no one with mod or

I asked a similar question myself on another list.
But then after a minute's reflection, the fact that we all got 200+
messages like this on the NANOG list and not a single other message
complaining about it suggests that someone did actually hit the big
red moderation button promptly, and just waited until Monday to sort
it out (which would not have been completely unreasonable, I think).
The residual messages that tricked through after that seem likely to
be nothing more than outbound queues draining.

I considered the same thing as you, initially. Went back and looked at
the raw headers though, and the early Received headers - shows the
messages were still coming in over the course of the weekend rather then
just say Friday night and then it was a queue purge.
My filters kicked in on Sat evening once I added something to counteract
the whitelist for nanog's mails (going through nanog servers), so I'm
missing alot of the later spew from Sunday.
