Seven copies...

We would be WELL within our rights to report fP-Tech to their own ISP, for
what is likely a ToS violation.  At this point, it's spam.  Initially, it
was a mistake.  Then it was an escalated mistake.

At this point, they're fully aware of it, and obviously doing -nothing- to
stop it temporarily, much less rectify it, that it's just plain willful
spamming.  There is no way to cushion the accusation at this point, and
after seven copies in under 24hrs, there's also zero desire to.

Call me silly, but when an admin knows that their system has gone rogue,
***they do not knock off for the day until it is under control***.  Yes,
that -does- mean turning off the MTA, even if your own inbound mail is
prevented from arriving; if you can't be a courteous sender, you don't
deserve to receive.  I cannot believe anyone would be that blatantly
irresponsible and inconsiderate.  And yet...here we are.
