I thought that was it, but they never actually send anything. The message
ends up 0 bytes.
I even ran sniffit to capture exactly what they were sending the mail
server, there isn't an actual message sent. Not exactly the way to send
SPAM.
My only other thought is a DOS attack, but it's doesn't even come close.
I have noticed the addresses are never repeated. I tried setting up some
valid aliases so I would at least get a copy of the message, no dice.
