...and in a related bulletin:

Dear iiNet Clients,
 
Investigations into the load caused on iiNet's mail servers have found 
that large amounts of spam from a specific IP range was being directed
towards iiNet customers.  The sheer volume of mail being processed
was causing mail queues and the server load to rise.
 
The IP range in question has since been blocked and the spam is
being actively cleared from all servers.

Cheers; Leon
