Those attachments were the config files he mentioned in the post. Instead
of copying the text into the message he added it as an attachment.

So what? For people who are interested in looking at his problem that

No they aren't. Because that will get you (and anyone else who decides
to do something that silly) kicked off these lists and will probably
generate many complaints to your upstream provider.

Could we all try and think a bit before threatening people with 
mailbombing? It's not smart, it's not clever, and it will get people's 
accounts pulled.

Cheers,
