Beware of mails to @testcompany.com

When creating automated mailing systems ( like using MAPI) please be aware not to test the system by sending a mail to @testcompany.com . A friend here in the office did. To test the MAPI function he was sending actual data to 1234@testcompany.com expecting them to bounce back... but they didn't. The info in the mails where old but still fairly company confidential :-( .

when the mails get to @testcompany.com they get automaticly posted on a webpage making the info public domain.

We sent a mail requesting the messages to be removed and they where.

I think its fairly good fun to look at the messages in there since some are "Strictly confidential" and should never have been made public :-) A lot of spam as well but its worth a look

To be honest, anyone that sends confidential mails as test mails has got something seriously wrong with them. I can't think of much stupider short of playing russian roulette with a fully loaded gun...
