Gosh folks, I dont know much about this stuff, and I dont know about
all them fancy UNIX tools, but it seems to me that there should
be some way for the automagic response system figure out if the
test message is longer than the first six volumes of the
encyclopaedia brittanica and take appropriate action.

Like do nothing. Or maybe only have backbone sites respond to it. Or maybe
only sites with a 'J' as the third letter of the sitename.

Just a crazy idea.
