An email, usually very short, sent for the purpose of testing whether the email system is working. The sender's purpose may be:
- to find out whether the sender's outgoing email is configured correctly
- to troubleshoot the end-to-end connection between a sender and recipient
If the sender is able to find his solution with no response from the recipient, the test email will usually contain a terse instruction like "ignore this email."
If the sender needs a response from the recipient in order to complete the test, then the test email will say something like "let me know if you got this."

If somebody is taking more than his fair share, or thinks he's all that, it's time "take him down a notch." Put him in his place.
To take someone down a notch, you don't have to insult him. You just beat him at his own game.
