Annoymail
is a legacy email utility, often categorised alongside early 2000s "mail bomber" or "mass-mailer" software. Historically, these tools were designed to send a high volume of automated messages to a single recipient or a list of addresses, often used for testing mail server stress or, more commonly, for digital pranks and harassment.
