As system administrator and postmaster for a major ISP, I have to wade through quite a bit of email every day. Most mail to postmaster is pretty boring, but every once in a while I'll get something that really brightens my day. This usually comes in the form of a clueless user responding to a bounced mail notification as though it was sent to them by a human. The first time, I figured it was just an isolated incident, but as time wore on, I started receiving similar mail every month or two. These messages so amuse my sysadmin friends that I figured I'd share them with the web at large. I've changed the names to protect the incompetent, of course.
Here, now, is the little composition I've entitled Dear MAILER-DAEMON.

Dave Burchell ponders:
I can't help but wonder, do you think this guy has one of those talking cars? Imagine the dialogue:
Car: "The door is ajar."
Idiot 6: "What?! A door is a door! There are no jars anywhere around here! We're in the middle of the Best Buy parking lot, for crimminy sakes!"
Car: "The door is ajar."
Idiot 6: "Would you quit saying these stupid things! I have no idea what you are talking about. Shut up, idiot car! Aaaarrrggg!"
[Loud crashing sound as car hits a light pole.]
Oh well, he probably has bitter disputes with his toaster as well.
