Way back when, 1994(?) I had a script on my ISP's system (shell account) that 
would mail a list of files at user specified time periods and delete the 
files it had successfully sent, it could read/get the required e-mail address 
to send to from a text config file, used it only once, to keep a abusive SOB 
off line for a week, sent him a complete copy of the then current slackware 
Linux distro. Had it set up that his mailbox was nearly full the whole time.

That floppy that script was kept on got thrown out the other day as is was no 
longer readable, but the idea should work for ftp, binkp, and other transport 
mechanisms.

There are lots of Linux ISO's that can be piped to a similar script thingie, 
who needs a virus, tho maybe a virus might give one more "options"

Yep! and they continue to give the same out ...
