	Mailbomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A mailbomb (or mail bomb), also called parcel bomb or letter bomb, is an explosive device sent via the postal service, and designed to explode when opened, injuring or killing the recipient, usually someone the sender has a personal grudge against, or more indiscriminately as part of a terrorist campaign.
		Mail bombs are usually set to explode immediately on opening, with the intention of seriously injuring or killing the recipient (who may or may not be the person to whom the bomb was addressed).
		Parcel bombs may have excessive postage because a bomber usually does not want to mail a parcel over the counter having to deal with a clerk.

	Mail Bomb Screening/Response
		Mail bombs may bear restricted endorsements such as "Personal" or "Private." These characteristics are important when the addressee does not usually receive personal mail at the office.
		Mail bombs may have distorted handwriting or the name and address may be prepared with homemade labels or cut-and-paste lettering.
		Mail bombs may have protruding wires, aluminum foil, or oil stains and may emit a peculiar odor.

		Second, mail room employees should be trained on mail screening techniques to protect the company against the slim possibility of a mail bomb.
		Mail centers that are located in high-traffic areas with little access control can become gathering places for employees, making it more difficult for security personnel to hold anyone accountable for thefts and other problems.
		Before calling the local bomb squad or postal inspectors, the security manager and mail room supervisor should attempt to confirm the contents of a suspicious package by calling the sender and the company official to whom the package is addressed.

		The coordinator must oversee the mail bomb screening process, seeing that all deliveries are channeled to the mail center, train employees in detecting suspicious packages, verifications, safe handling, and communications with security and management in any crisis.
		When the mail screening process identifies a suspect item, it is essential to rapidly remove personnel from the area and the potential bomb from the workflow.
		Security personnel and the mail center coordinator should jointly evaluate the spaces or areas available around the mail center and select one which offers a degree of isolation where a parcel may be placed pending verification and/or the arrival of the police.

	Bomb Detection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		While mail bombs are extremely rare, bomb threats are becoming a fact of corporate life, according to the findings of a Security Management survey on mail room security and bomb threats.
		For example, at one plant in Indianapolis, the company beefed up mail room awareness trai ning due to mail bomb incidents in the area, although none were related to the company itself.
		Consequently, twelve "Christmas card" letter bombs postmarked from Alexandri a, Egypt, and sent to several locations in the United States (and one in London) in late 1996 and early 1997 will all be counted as part of the agency's fiscal 1997 incident report.

		Mail bombs not only inconvenience the intended target but they are also likely to inconvenience everybody using the server.

		The process is repeated through all the MTAs in the chain, either successfully queuing the entire e-mail bomb or queuing a percentage of the volume of the bomb, then moving to flood the next MTA in the chain.
		Examples from the Langley Cyber Attack reveal that unsuspecting mail system administrators are often unaware that the MTA has been attacked by a mail bomb and simply reboot the mail server without clearing the malicious messages from the MTA queue.
		This proved to be extremely valuable in the process of examining mail bombs, understanding the nature of the attacks, and simultaneously insuring all e-mail was correctly delivered with minimal delay.
