maybe... it could easily be another one recovering from a crash and starting
with restored configs and echo areas... then the operator just didn't think to
stop the mailer, let the tosser scan for outbound mail and then delete that
mail before starting the mailer back up... this used to be taught to all
sysops when they were starting... it all but disappeared when that
"BBS-in-a-box" mess came out back in the 90s and anyone could throw up a BBS
without any training or assistance...

the necessary mindset and skillz are being lost :(
