Work is going well today. Someone put together a mailing list without telling anyone. "Welcome to the ---- mailing list" is all the initial e-mail said. Now I'm watching replies filter by with people saying "what is this?" "please remove me" "stop replying to everyone." Each e-mail gets sent to the whole group, and the spam continues unabated.
Awesome.
Know what's more fun? When this happens and the message is sent to everyone on the wide area network. All over the world. And then they all start replying back.
It takes about 5 minutes for our mail servers to choke and keel over.
I was hoping for as much. One obscurely labeling mailing list causing mass panic would be an awesome way to start the week.
Sadly though, someone got wise to it, and turned off the spigot.
