It appears to be an MSA (or close relative of it), the main page is full
of multiple entries for the same message and very deeply nested - on the
followup ones it refers to itself as a followup, thus exploiting the
threading mechanism to fill up the disk :)  I guess it was a script that
replied to eaach of real entries on the mainpage and then specified a
'followup' that did the rest.
