Here's a translated summary of the story so far:

Sonera (http://www.sonera.fi/) - Finland's biggest ISP's customers
have recently started receiving e-mails that have bounced back from
echelon () sonera inet fi address, with an error message that the e-mail
quota of that address is full.

Apparently, the automated error message indicates that all e-mails sent
via Sonera's e-mail servers are also directed to echelon () sonera inet fi
address, for reasons unknown.

Sonera has been recently in court due to communications privacy
violations and it is inconceivable why the company would use an
e-mail address with such a notorious name for any purpose.
