looks like somebody abused a machine of hostpoint.ch. i was just about
to start bitching, but a fingerprinting scan shows it's running linux...
goes to show there is no admin-proof operating system.
some kid must have subscribed a number of other lists to a mailing list
on that server, which generated about 100 spam/hour...

the spam seems to have ceased now. just to be sure, i have blackholed
both hostpoint.ch and the originating domain blackmusic.ch. 

best,

jörn
