[External] Re: Anyone else getting the 'spam' bomb threat?

Thu Oct 21 20:43:46 UTC 2021

Hi Becki,

For me, it's not credible enough to put resources into pursuing it. Beyond
that any benefits as a result of tracking it down would probably be less
than zero. I posted the contents and headers in pastebin so if it had value
to anyone else they'd be able to take advantage of it.

Warm regards,
