Please excuse me for my ignorance, but...

What is a "bounce attack"?  I only know of mail bouncing, and I don't see a

Thanks!

The postmaster of that AU site running the bounce attack
assures me he has been able to vanquish the daemon running
the box in question; despite the fact he did not even know it was
there ;-} [Don't ask..]
