Subject: GT Math Mail Server Hacked

Hi,

I'm sorry to announce that a hacker has been in control of the mail
server at the Georgia Tech School of Mathematics for the past few
months.  This explains the instability we have been experiencing lately.

By using strong elliptic curve encrytption techniques coupled with
clever statistical cloaking algorithms, this hacker was able to avoid
detection until today.  The intrusion was eventually uncovered when
several major Internet Service Providers (including aol.com and msn.com)
traced back the origins of their email Spam and discovered that
42% OF ALL SPAM had originated from math.gatech.edu.

The hacker, who goes by the name of "Loof Lirpa", was arrested in
Brussels, Belgium this morning.  He claimed that the reason he targeted
math.gatech.edu servers was a combination of the high bandwidth
available on the Georgia Tech network and the efficient hardware and
software configuration on the School of Math servers.

The FBI has been informed of this security breach, and, as a result, we
have had to turn over all incoming and outgoing email to the authorities
in the Bush administration.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may
cause.

Sincerely,
The Computer Support Group
