Spamming

Explanation:
Spamming — Involves repeatedly sending identical e-message to a particular address. It is a variant of
bombing, and is made worse when the recipient replies — i.e. recent cases where viruses or worms
were attached to the e-mail message and ran a program that forwarded the message from the
reader to any one on the user’s distribution lists. This attack cannot be prevented, but you should
ensure that entrance and exit of such mail is only through central mail hubs.
