No, not a virus

a perpetual email circle that keeps mailing and mailing and then when anyone emails to bitch or an autoreply does it's thing, it gets caught in the circle and it goes on and one and on, over and over

I am over 250 copies/versions at this point

Bullshit, it's not a worm.
They did their usual daily email but the "to" address is the same as the from and created a perpetual circle. Everytime a reply is generated, it replies to everyone and when an autoreply is initiated, it replies to everyone.
They email list/name used yesterday is different from previous days.

Whats weird about this is I don't visit their website, never received an email from them before and I have never subscribed to the mag.

I did use a big P sticker as toilet paper one time in a moment of desparation. Hmmmmm

Because you are getting everyone's replies as part of the circle.
They made a new list, that's how new people got on it and how it got messed up.

Bingo!!

My pal Paul Buckley spoke with the folks at MP.

According to Danae at MP it is an issue with their 3rd party e-mail provider.
They have been working on it and hope to have it fixed today.

Seems to have slowed.

But I will be posting five to ten of this same message every few minutes for the next several hours, just so you can get a feel for what it was like. Wink
