sendmail spamming

["Robert E. Martin" <rmartin () fishburne org>]

Just a moraltiy question for you guys.
I have just finished locking up and exploit in our email server. This 
spawned from a formmail script left on our web server I neglected to 
delete.
I noticed CPU activity spikes on the email server and found that our web 
server was spamming our email server due to the classic formmail exploit.
My question is this. What is the motivation behind such an expliot? What 
is there to gain from this other than job security for a person like me? 
This kind of action makes no sense to me.
