Email Bombing

1st of all,this is kinda cyber crime ...If you are planning on mail-bombing somebody, there are many things of which you should be aware. First of all, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) will not appreciate you sending mail-bombs through their machine(s). This is because most ISPs don't like abnormal activities taking place from their machine(s) and/or don't want the increased load on *their* system.

If you are mail-bombing a particular person, you are also impacting their ISP. If you fill up that computer with repetitive mail to the person you are bombing, you are also preventing all the other users on that system from receiving mail. If you fill up the hard drive of a mail server, that machine may have to be taken down to have the problem fixed -- interrupting service for all the users. Even if you do not send enough email to fill up the system, you are still degrading its performance for all users.
