What? Are you crazy? Useful Spam?
Yes, I’ve found a use for spam. See, I’ve got this mail server that now and then has some reliability issues, and while I’m on some mailing lists, and some of them are even semi-high volume, when you want to see if your mail server is really working, just check the spam folder. Chances are, you (if you’re like me) should see at least a few (dozen) spam every hour. So, I just need to check my spam folder and make sure I have a steady stream of spam, and I then know the mail server is doing it’s job and keeping the mail flowing.
See? You can put a positive spin on anything…
