I am chose my phrasing for the very reason that it's merely incredibly unlikely and not at all impossible. I've even sent mail with bang-paths post-2000 just to confound the recipient, though it is a rare network that would accommodate that today.
Nowhere that I know of, at least not for certain. The company with the mail server I used has been subsumed by another company, however some other companies from that time may still be running compatible mailers.

He'd have to have bang routes set up on his mail server for that. =) So it's not just effectively dead, it's dead-dead.

Edit: punctuation.
Where can I still use bang-paths?!
