I once
worked with an organization that accidentally instead of sending all
email
that
had no valid recipient to NUL, they sent it to Null.
As it
turned out, there was a very upset Nancy Null trying to figure out where
all
this
spam email was coming from.

Subject: Re: OT: Try this out...It's because of the old days of DOS. CON is for the console (screen), PRN for printer, NUL basically means NULL or nothing. Try typing in DIR > PRN into a command window. The directory listing will print. DIR > NUL will not show anything. (In the old days programmers would run commands and have the output go to NUL so that they ran "transparently.")Looks like con, prn, nul can not be used.
