Oh dear.
At 16:47 an email was sent, apparently from virgin media, regarding changes to login for googlemail.
Alas, the reply address appears to send any messages it receives on to all their customers. So what started with a few irate replies back to virgin have gone out to every customer, starting a chain reaction of reply-to-all dumbassery. My box is getting close on 100 emails an hour from irate people who haven't worked out that replying is only making things worse.

I expect that this is gonna cost them...

Yeah, seems to have finished now. It was the people sending "STOP" who amused me most. That and the enterprising folks who saw the chance for some free advertising.
