Open mail relays are exploited by spammers to disguise the origin of their
UCE. It looks as though an anti-spam group or individual has decided to
take direct action (I'm guessing) through DoS attacks to disable any open
relays the find. While open relays are a serious problem, this kind of
guerrilla action is stupidly irresponsible, possibly illegal, and no more
justified as a spam counter measure than mail bombing.
