  mailbomb (also mail bomb) [Usenet] 1. v. To send, or urge others to
     send, massive amounts of email to a single system or person, esp. with
     intent to crash or spam the recipient's system. Sometimes done in
     retaliation for a perceived serious offense. Mailbombing is itself
     widely regarded as a serious offense -- it can disrupt email traffic or
     other facilities for innocent users on the victim's system, and in
     extreme cases, even at upstream sites. 2. n. An automatic procedure with
     a similar effect. 3. n. The mail sent. Compare letterbomb,
     nastygram, BLOB (sense 2), list-bomb.
