I think I've got copies of bounces from postmaster and abuse mailboxes at all the big players who run systems that offer that "mailbox full" feature.... I find it hard to believe that a 24x7 NOC could ever get into this situation unless they've got a mail bomber right on their backbone and they can't cut him off any other way. These big guys do all have 24x7 staffed NOCs and their staff do constantly monitor ops-related mailboxes such as 'postmaster', don't they? If not, why not? -- Greg A.
