Flood An Old Email Inbox
I had an email address for over 20 years. The ISP it was based on was onsold a couple of times but offered redirection of the address. Even when they stopped proving and I moved to another ISP I was prepared to pay a small fee for the mailbox which I did for many years.
Last month they simply stopped accepting payments. So I called them and they said they would not be supporting my email any more. Nice, no warning.
So I hurriedly set up a new email but there was no opportunity for transition by monitoring incoming messages and advising updated address to any senders.
Now I have discovered the address is still accepting mail! So people trying to contact me on the old address have no idea the messages are not getting through.
So I tried sending enough messages to overflow the limit on the mailbox but it just keeps accepting them.
So now I want to send terabytes of messages to it in the hope of getting someone's attention.
Any ideas how I could make this happen?
