[olug] Fw: [ORBZ-Secondary] Shutdown

[Timothy G. O'Brien]

Can someone explain & give background as to why ORBZ may be facing
criminal charges for denial of service relating to the Lotus Domino issue?

I'm confused - How can this be/happen when all ORBS does is compile spammers & open relay's from the spam emails we forward (well, used to).
