I wonder if it's possible to craft a mail to be infinite-bounced like this. There have to be servers that are appropriately (mis-)configured of course. But that would let you have a lot more than just one name, and a lot more information about each person. An epitaph of sorts.

The trick is to make it so the mail isn't replicated as it's infinite bounced, so we don't get infinite copies (don't clog the tubes!). It's something I've been struggling with in a piece of software I've been writing, actually. My solution is to simply not allow for loops: There is only one canonical path between any two server (netsplits, yay!)
