Email isn't free. It seems like it is but actually it takes significant resources to process all the spam. Using a bot to create more traffic is pointless and wasteful.
Yours sincerely,
A guy who runs the mail transfer agents for an email security provider and has to deal with this every day.
It doesn't help that today Chrome decided not to play nicely with Java and insisted on a re-install of the JRE ..... which of course I can't do because I can't get to the website. I've tried getting Chrome to recognise my installed version of JRE7 but it's not playing ball. All round large amounts of frustration this morning.
