Dear All,
we apologize  for having  bounced  from our  machine  (asso.nis.garr.it)
racist mails from Crusader@National.Alliance.
As you can understand,  we have been victims of an attack:  someone came
into our system and disable our security procedures before sending those
mails.
We have spent many hours to investigate about and then block the attack.
We are sure you  can understand why we didn't answer to the great amount
of complaing mail we got.
Sorry for this bad experience.
Best Regards,

                           GARR-NIS Staff
