Especially the bounces that contain oh-so-helpful warnings that one's
email contained a virus. I wouldn't grouse about that, except that
my account at work recently got such a message from, of all places,
Berkeley. It contained the helpful note that, since this is one of
those email virus thingies, it may be that I didn't send the mail,
because a lot of them forge the From: header. It's bad enough that
the incredibly stupid, lazy, evil antivirus programs "helpfully" send
mail about this. It's just mind-boggling that someone would on
purpose enable this brain-dead "feature" and take the time to point
out how totally worthless it is.
