Yes, it appears that even though the sender was blocked 30 hours ago or
so in mailman itself, there was still tons of pre-existing garbage in
the mailqueus which was flushed out over the last 30 hours. Clearly we
failed in purging that garbage from the queue in a timely manner.
Going forward, I expect some protection mechanisms will be implemented,
rather sooner then later, to prevent this style of incident from
happening again.
Kind regards,
Job
