It was sent to a holding directory and a messages was sent to the admin
account alerting him of the incident.  In this case it was so well known it
and the others received by that time were simply deleted rather than
analyzed, and the senders were notified.  Then we modified the scripts to
simply delete them rather than have to spend more time deleting them
manually.  :)
