Nice but wow... I've done the telnet to a mail server on TCP port 25 trick over a hundred times. Only once did I take it almost as far as you. When our company was bought I sent an email from HR to my buddy saying that certain employees would be given the option of taking severance. My buddy asked all of his coworkers if they got that email, they said they hadn't. He then replied to the HR guy who told him he was the victim of a practical joke.
