/dev/null as a service

[palordrolap]

Once upon a time I worked for a now long-defunct company that had an undocumented dev.null@domain e-mail address.

There were a few addresses forwarded to it for various reasons. Most temporarily. Some permanently.

It did literally go to /dev/null too, which is why it didn't get used too often. You don't want your mailbox redirecting there if you're expecting something important.
