Hotmail Ha Ha

This week's been one of mail problems, but this made me laugh.

It's a transcript of an SMTP session, trying to deliver an email to a Hotmail user.

Violations will result in use of equipment located in California and other states. Is this an oblique reference to the death penalty? --

Y'know - I didn't even spot that. When you pointed it out I assumed there was some <> bracketed text I'd missed escaping, but I've gone back to the original mail transcript in my scrollback buffer and it really, truly, does say exactly that. -- simon

It's probably there to allow them to take you to court in California, which they want to do so they can sic Arnie on you as a punishment. Hugo
