It's an AMPRNet ICMP amplification attack. The way it works is every time there is ICMP traffic on AMPRNet, someone reports it to this mailing list. Then there are usually a few replies. This has the effect of turning 64 bytes of ICMP into a storm of SMTP TCP traffic.
I don't care who you are, that's funny.
