I don't know about the original sender's reason, but DNS servers are often the initial target of attacks. Then when you go to, say www.nike.com, the DNS server sends you the IP address of a malicious site. That site infects your browser, then redirects you to the original www.nike.com web site -- you never know you were just hit by a drive-by browser attack.
In any case, this discussion should probably be re-directed to the darwin-kernel mailing list instead of Cocoa.
