mail storm n.   [from {broadcast storm}, influenced by    `maelstrom'] What often happens when a machine with an Internet    connection and active users re-connects after extended downtime -- a    flood of incoming mail that brings the machine to its knees.   See    also {hairball}.
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
mail gateway          A machine that connects two or more {electronic mail}       systems (including dissimilar mail systems) and transfers       messages between them.   Sometimes the mapping and translation       can be quite complex, and it generally requires a       {store and forward} scheme whereby the message is received       from one system completely before it is transmitted to the       next system, after suitable translations.          (1996-02-26)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
ML Kit          The ML Kit is a straight translation of the Definition of       Standard ML into a collection of Standard ML modules.   For       example, every inference rule in the Definition is translated       into a small piece of Standard ML code which implements it.       The translation has been done with as little originality as       possible - even variable conventions from the Definition are       carried straight over to the Kit.   The Kit is intended as a       tool box for those people in the programming language       community who may want a self-contained parser or type checker       for full Standard ML but do not want to understand the clever       bits of a high-performance compiler. We have tried to write       simple code and modular interfaces.          Version 1          interpreter, documentation          Nick Rothwell, David N.
