suddenly in one's inbox is a pile of stuff

too much stuff.

bombs weren't meant to break mailboxes with too much cellulose. i'm not sure what bombs are for.

I remember in middle school when mailbombing was a thing. some people would run a program or write a script to send way too many emails to somebody.

it honestly had never happened to me before, that I recall, until these recent years. I got a huge set of subscriptions to arbitrary advertisement lists, all using the same distribution backend. and recently i'm getting these list unsubscription requests via cypherpunks, which uses mailman as a backend.

maybe I could modify mailman to forward more information on the request, and ask greg to update.

of course they wouldn't accept it, but I could wording around "if you are mailbombing somebody with unsubscription requests, please write here what your beef with them is, to help them process the experience"
