So if people want to damage a company all they now have to do is mass spam
californian addresses using genuine looking spoofed emails from a company
they are having a disagreement with and sit back and watch.
If some big corporate has pissed you off it could be worth buying up a CD of
email addresses just to tie up their legal team for the following few
months. Bet I won't be the only one to see that potential.
