My names not Eric, so I certainly won't be saying 'Sendmail'.

Probably the most 'bastard' of hacks I've done is to do a semi-interactive
'shell' via mail, putting the command in the subject line and stdin in the
message body.  Authentication was done by X-secret headers.  Standard
output and stderr came back in the return mail to the address determined
by a local lockup based on the X-secret header.

It worked, to a point.  Said point was when I didn't check a command
before sending it.
