All,
normally i prefer not to quote on this kind of issue, because leave it =
to the administrator is what i would recommend.
But in this case i feel something wrong about it because something is =
missing - an explanation.
So i am not going to tell somebody in privat nor judging on it, but tell =
you a true story:
=20
One day i received an email from a good business partner with the =
following story:
=20
There is a young girl - i dont remember the age but it was mentioned - =
in a hospital in Houston Texas suffering from cancer.;-(
The doctor who was taking care of here was advising that she was going =
to die within a half year and that she knows. Her last will - so was =
told - was to do a charity collection for her fellow sufferer, still =
hope for.
There was a company - so was told - sponsoring her afford giving 10c for =
each email received reffering to her.
The next statement was to send this email " to as many people as you =
know ".
Though i was sad and deeply impressed i trashed the email.
What has happened - how could i be so senseless ?
=20
Its a matter of the "number" to crowed and crash an email server.
More often in business you have of course mailing lists. So if doing a =
copy of an email to all, what often follows is not just a pyramid, but =
multiple pyramids within a department, which you can imagine is likely =
to cause an email-server to "strech his wings".
I've only experienced that twice, but fortunately not as the =
administrator.
So if i run into a statement telling me "send to as many people as you =
know" I trash regardlessly of the topic, allthought I feel for the good =
minded and blame the others the same time because i can not allways tell =
them apart.
=20
Best regards Rainer
