But some of them mailbombed me, and I just can't be bothered to deal with all
the crap. I know it makes it seem like they've one, but I have War & Peace on
the way (getting CD-ROM) and I'm going to post that as my sig when they feel
safe. Revenge is sweet, and the best things come to those who wait. ;o)

Even so... it's not as if you'll have an account afterwards.

Depends on the system they are using. With Freeserve there is no limit on
message size, as is the case with many of the free ISPs.

They wouldn't do anything though, I'm no longer a student there anyway!

Yet you can still use their servers.

However, if I was feeling netcoppish, I'd ring up Portsmouth Uni (that is
correct, no?) and suggest they restrict mail access to one Matthew Charman,
on account of him planning a denial of service attack...

That would do sod-all as that is not the Uni I use the server at, and I am not
planning a DNS attack, just an oversized message download - plus I don't use an
account in my name anyway.
Nice try though.

I thought DNS was preventing a user from accessing a server - hense the term Denial
of Service. If this is wrong, what *is* DNS?

DNS is the Domain Name Service, which is what converts domain names into
IP adddresses, among other things. It's also Microsoft's Digital Nervous
System, apparently, though what that might be I've no idea (and no
desire to find out).
DoS (or DOS) is Denial of Service[1]. DoS attacks are distinct from
actually trying to gain access to a system: in a DoS attack what you're
trying to do is make the system or some service unusable for others.
Winnuke, Teardrop and the like are DoS attacks, as is mailbombing
someone. Exploiting a vulnerability in sendmail to get root access
to a Unix box isn't a DoS attack. DoS attacks are probably largely
perpetrated by script kiddies (those people who are "3133t" and wr1t3
l1k3 th1s, and think they're hackers).
[1] And Director of Studies. And an operating system from MS, in the
loose sense of that phrase.
