Speaking of DDoS attacks

Thu Jul 12 20:45:59 UTC 2001

Speaking of DDOS attacks, there seems to be one going
on associated with the NANOG list.  I was wondering if
anyone could offer insite.

At my work address, I have received the same email
from NANOG about every 10 - 15 minutes.  I have
received hundreds of copies of this email.  Yet at
this address I do not receive the repeated copies (and
no one else on the list appears to have complained). 
If I look at the header of the email, the last hop, if
I am reading it correctly, is named
"zombie.la.interpacket.net" by
mrbig.la.interpacket.net.  I have since unsubscribed
from NANOG from my work address yet still receive the
emails.  Also, this has been going on for over a week
(since a rule filters all my nanog email into a
folder, it has not bothered me too much) - every few
days, the email that I am repeatedly hit with changes.
 Currently, the email I am being hit with is "OT: The
End of Empire."

Below I have pasted the header of the email

I would be curious to hear people's thoughts about
this.   Is this a type of a DDOS?  Anyone familiar
with it?
