Wow. Brings back memories. We used to spoof mail to the Sysadmin and think it was funny as hell. We were such little nerds :-)

Oh man, I remember doing this in high school more than once. $> telnet ourserver.com 25 helo MAIL FROM president@whitehouse.gov RCPT TO jim@ourserver.com SUBJECT: Hi its me President Clinton DATA fart . QUIT Such a simpler time. Today I haven't the foggiest idea what it would take to invoke an email server correctly in a way that would definitely deliver the message. Probably a lot.

swaks can more or less do much of that, though it should fail any competent dkim/spf requirements.

This has always been a breath of fresh air for me, but perhaps I'm the only person whose main memory of shared Unix systems at university was entire classes of people trying to launch KDE 3 simultaneously via Exceed and everything grinding to a halt...

Shell accounts tend to be far lighter, barring compilations.

[Here's a link to the waitlist]( http://goo.gl/forms/gRMRT1YBU4 )

As much as we appreciate the support, Users that have added themselves to that wait list after the 15th will not automatically get an account. We stopped using the wait list after we started emailing users on the wait list. To get an account we will be opening sign ups on tilde.club's website on the 20th.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the timeline!
