Some fuckwit has been bombarding one of my legacy POP mailboxes with
SirCam crapola.  So, because I had nothing better to do, I decided to
be nice and actually SEND A MAIL BACK with some friendly advice.  I
Cc'd abuse and postmaster, just for completeness.

I received the following in short order, all wrapped up a nice
space-age multi-part MIME enclosure.

-------------------- Start of forwarded message --------------------
From: Mail Administrator <Postmaster at chello.fr>
Subject: Mail System Error - Returned Mail
Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2001 20:39:27 +0200

This Message was undeliverable due to the following reason:

The user(s) account is temporarily over quota.

Please reply to Postmaster at chello.fr
if you feel this message to be in error.
-------------------- End of forwarded message --------------------

*cough* RFC 2821 *cough* 4.5.1 *cough*

I hopped over to http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/ to make a submission,
but I had been beaten to it.  Curses!  How long more will fame elude
me?
