A Winner Is You!

A composition for three tech support specialists in the key of hey.

elibalin: She claims she tried logging into webmail, and got an authentication failure, but she doesn't show up in the logs.
Your humble correspondent: What're you grepping for?
elibalin:"grep slowuser@panix.com /log/services/mail"
YHC: I perceive your error. Behold:

Feb  1 11:13:10 logsources@mailspool3/166.84.1.78 imapd: LOGIN FAILED, 
ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] user=[slowuser.com] [1]

dariodevil: I reviewed with her TWICE that it was slowuser@panix.com.
dariodevil: I HATE EVERYTHING
elibalin: BRAIN STABBING TIME NOW

[1] No, the user does not own slowuser.com. That might have made some sense.

Okay, I have only the haziest idea of what you're talking about, but it's still funny. Please talk Dariodevil and elibalin down off the roof now.

Kinda reminds me of an old Bad Religion album (uh, google, Stranger Than Fiction), back when the world was first discovering these crazy intenets things.

Email: BADRELIGION.COM (sic)

Commented my sister upon seeing that: "Exactly what at badreligion.com? Postmaster?"

Well, turns out she wasn't the only person to think of that. Their next album came along, and this time:

Email: postmaster@badreligion.com
