Did the spamming from box2 look like actual spam (phishing attacks etc) or did it look like a large number of, or repeat copies of, otherwise legitimate messages?

It's all automated but I'd guess that it was trying to either 1) send empty email 2) send email to non-existant users. It was not a direct attack.

Folks, it appears that one side effect of the kind of SqueakSource failure that we experienced over the weekend is that we might inadvertently generate a lot of email traffic.

Likely some sort of "bad" email. Enough to trip alerts.
