Mail Bomb
Mail bomb is a denial of service (DoS) attack on a user’s mailbox, which is the act of, or even incitement to, send massive amounts of probably meaningless text to a particular e-mail address. The purpose is to annoy the recipient, or even crash his/her system - and it is usually done in retaliation for some real or perceived offense.
