AOL's Funny SMTP Message 
« Digg - Only 30 GB of Data | Main | Happy Third Birthday Simpy »
AOL has some funny SMTP servers:
<got-to-hide-the-username@aol.com>: host mailin-01.mx.aol.com[205.188.156.185] said: 550 We would love to have gotten this email to got-to-hide-the-username@aim.com. But, your recipient never logged onto their free AIM Mail account. Please contact them and let them know that they're missing out on all the super features offered by AIM Mail. And by the way, they're also missing out on your email. Thanks. (in reply to RCPT TO command)
Great, in-SMTP-bounce AOL service promotion.

Glad you brought this up! I thought I was imagining some sort of prank when I saw one that said: "Geez, all this code for one little stinking date."
Thank God I'm not at danger.That messages is really funny for those who have some knowledge of servers. For those who don't it is still a pain.
