This is the reaction to all this stupid auto complain tools which sends
you a mail on every packet their IDS reports. Sometimes over 100 to the
same incident. The other thing is you get allot of mails which doesn't
include any useful information like header, source or destination ip
address etc. 

I also want to mention the copyright infringements mails which are also
abuse the system.

True, but you need also a policy for the admins ;-)
