Subject: Sorry for the mail; Someone abused our system

Hello,

You might have gotten a mail from one of my machines (mc3.hq.eso.org)
from root@eso.org, root@mc3.hq.eso.org, @eso.org, @mc3.hq.eso.org
or Crusader@National.Alliance 
with rather racist contents.

Somebody (not anyone from eso.org as far as I can judge it) abused our
systems, forged mail and illegally sent out this postage.

!!!!!                     I apologize for that mail.                     !!!!!!

I felt embarrassed by the posting and as far as I can see on the reactions
a lot of you as well.

Sorry for that,


Michael Fendt
(postmaster@eso.org)
