I was sent two email tests by Stephanie Miller
last night. However, it didn't ask to reply. Did anyone else receive this and how will it determine whether the email server is working without a reply?

2. I just didn't see how it could be a test without a reply.

If the email server has a problem, I don't see how it determined anything. Maybe it's not getting the hits they want (website), so they are trying to generate traffic. Otherwise, it makes no sense.

3. Maybe they were testing the validity of the email addresses
they have on their mailing list, and looking for "bounce-backs" to their server indicating old invalid email addresses.

4. It seems to me any email addresses that are invalid
would be indicated in an ongoing basis.
