I've really never understood why anyone would think it's ok to send
something like this to hundreds of people. If you are planning on
sending a message to the list then send a message to the list. If you
don't have anything to send right now then there shouldn't be any
urgency in figuring out if your email is working. There isn't any
reason to send a content-free message.
"Test" email is basically just spam. You're not selling anything but
you are sending email to a bunch of people for no other reason than to
satisfy your (apparent) personal curiousity about whether you are able
to send email or whether sourceware is able to receive your email. That
is definitely not what this list is for.
There is, however, a list called "test-list" at sourceware where this
kind of thing is ok. If you really feel the need to send test email
here then please use that.
