Test Email...

JFK was testing some newly developed application on the Outlook Exchange Server... This application is supposed to send out mass email automatically.... With his responsible character, he worked till very late in the evening.....

[In GIT Server Room... Sometime back at around 11pm]

[JFK]: "Phew... Finally finish.. Time to test..."

He tried sending out email to jfk@gitpl.com.sg, jfk-seven@gitpl.com.sg and jeffrey@gitpl.com.sg and it worked!! He was very very happy... Wah... Working already... Time to go home..... But wait.. What happened if it is to send out to the whole company.. Hmmm.. Will it work?

So he configure the application to automatic send out email to everybirdie in the company at 12am. In order to prevent the emails from flooding the server, he put these words in his email content.....

"This is a test email. Please do not reply."

He packed up and go home.....

[Scene 2, BG at his home working on some bugs reported at about 1am in the morning]

[BG]: "Wah.. Shit.. Finally solve this bug... Time to sleep... Send out the fix first..."

BG proceed to connect to GIT Exchange Server using the webmail to send out his fix... He saw some new mails in his inbox.....
