Subject: Statement SPAM mailing on 212.90.208.13


Dear Mr. Graedel,

On Tuesday, 21 November 2000, we had a SPAM mail attack on one of our
Internet servers. This server has not a mailserver function. We held
sites on this server that use CGIs for sending mails.

5 months ago my predecessor deleted the "Sendmail" program to stop
spamming on this server. 3 months ago I took over the responsibility
for this job and was not informed of this problem. So, three weeks
ago, I reinstalled the program "Sendmail" to make the CGIs work again
- unaware of the problem.

Since yesterday, 23 November 2000, the program "Sendmail" is deleted
on this server once more. Therefore it is not possible for anyone to
send mails over our Internet server anymore. Today we move the CGIs to
a secure mailserver and try hard to avoid spamming.

We sincerely apologize to the AntiSPAM associations and the
SPAM-damaged users for having caused these troubles.
With best regards

Patrick Federi
