This should turn out to be an interesting ad in the New York Times, celebrating the release of Firefox 1.0, in about a month from now.

If you didn’t want the email
You could have just said so?
$ host yahho.com yahho.com has address 64.40.102.44 $ host -t mx yahho.com yahho.com mail is handled by 0 nullmx.domainmanager.com. $ host nullmx.domainmanager.com nullmx.domainmanager.com has address 0.0.0.0
Several mailservers already check for loopback (127.0.0.0/8) or private network addresses (like 192.168.0.0/16) but I had not seen this one before, and apparently neither had the mail software, because it happily kept on trying to deliver it to itself until it saw too many hops and gave up. Bah.
