Due to the protocols used on the Internet for mail delivery, it is extremely easy for a malicious user to forge an electronic mail message from another user. This vulnerability has led to a practice known as "spoofing" in list owner jargon, through which an innocent user is subscribed to thousands of mailing lists with the intent of filling up his mailbox and rendering his Internet account essentially useless. This is usually done in retribution for having posted something on a public forum which made the perpetrator lose face.
