Cute. Another one:
Suppose you want to keep with you some files, but you can't
because of quota. Solution: attach each one into a separate message and
send that messages to yourself. And if the admin of the computer you have
the account on was 'smart' enough to give sendmail a bigger timeout,
be sure that those messages will sit in the sendmail queue with a nice
(Deferred: <user@your.dom.ain>... Insufficient disk space)
error.
Not too much details, but I hope you've got the idea ...

Good code is hard to write, so it must be hard to understand.
