Sorry, that's computer geek speak. Unix and Sendmail specific.

Here's the mini-how to. It shouldn't work on many machines if they
are configured correctly:

telnet mailhost 25
mail from: <Imaspammer@imaspammer.com>
rcpt to: <mylistofpeoplenotwantingmyspam@imaspammer.com>
data
here's the spam
<CTRL-D>
quit



A properly configured mail server will do one of 3 or 4 things,
like reject the mail because it comes from a nonexistent domain,
or reject it because it doesn't allow relaying. 

Basically, to do this, you need to have control of a mail server.

We return you to your regularly scheduled LBC content... :-)
