mail-bombing

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.

mail-bombing

In computing, sending large amounts of e-mail to an individual or organization. The aim is to completely fill the recipient's hard disk with immense, useless files, causing at best irritation, and at worst total computer failure. While mail-bombing often achieves its aim of annoying the individual concerned, it also inconveniences systems administrators and other users.
