The one good thing about spam

By at 17:36:12 on Sep 3, 2007 in Amusing Observations, E-Mail, Spam

The one good thing about spam is… if you don’t regularly get a lot of e-mail (I have notifications for things like MySpace, Facebook, etc. turned off, and don’t get much personal mail), it’s a good way to discover sooner rather than later if there’s a problem with your mail server. If it wasn’t for spam, that kind of thing could take me weeks to notice! Especially if the problem was intermittent.

    Now I’m just SURE there must be a simpler way to solve this particular problem, rather that relying on the goodwill of the world’s spam providers. Is that they are called, I wonder – spam providers? Or maybe spam purveyors… Must look it up.

    Oh, I’m sure too. But there isn’t any way that I know of that doesn’t require effort on my part, so it’s irrelevant!
