This is NOT a test message, but just an infogram.  On my list of 3895
subscribers, we generate 20-50 mail messages per day to 1803 different
hostnames (*).  By virtue of the very nature of email, we are actually
TESTING the mail and network delivery systems involved.  Sometimes when we
encounter a problem, we are effective in communicating with cognizant
network/system administrators about those problems.  Sometimes they know;
sometimes not.  Sometimes things get fixed; sometimes the message goes out
without being answered.

(*) I used a LISTSERV Distribute MAIL DEBUG=YES job and edited the
resultant output looking for all occurrenes of /goes to/
