     Last night I sent a complaint to them about spam, it wasn't a mailbomb
like today but a spam advertising beastiality.

     This mailbomb apparently is their response to this complaint.  As a result
I've blocked incoming SMTP connections from the address block this is coming
from:

Charter Communications (NETBLK-MNGMY-AL-66-168-240) MNGMY-AL-66-168-240
                                                 66.168.240.0 - 66.168.255.255
