Reply all. Take me off this email chain.

I was working at a large company, and an external party that pretty much everyone in the industry was working with, sent out a regular blast email to all its users about the industry. Unfortunately, they CC’d everyone. What ensued was an infinite loop of out-of-office replies being sent to everyone. I came back from lunch and I had over 500 emails in my inbox, and they kept coming. IT had to step in to put an end to it. Pretty funny to watch in real time.
I think we auto block emails with more than 50 recipients. The only exception I think is the union who are allowed to email as many people as they like since they complained.
I was working for an international company that was very modular.
At a large event, they sent out an update to all attendees. Due to the way the internal mailing list worked, replies were sent to everyone on the list.
All the non-english language mailboxes were set up with an automatic reply that detects the language and replies along the lines of “we speak French, if you need to contact us in English, please contact…”.The event update was in English.
The mail system was down for about an hour.
After the initial rush, I’m pretty sure there were also “we speak French, if you need to contact us in Spanish, please contact…”
The power of BCC (always use BCC for mass mails).
You have been arrested by the FBI for “DDOS”
If the distribution list is set up properly that won’t work unfortunately.
Me too!
I’m going to flag every suspicious email i see as a phishing attempt. That’s why I take a mandatory federal training every year on cybersecurity.
I speedrun those. Security compliance any%.
All I’m gonna say is if some hologram dude actually popped up on my screen and started waving my mouse around, I’m pulling the fucking plug.
This will hit a dead end as soon as Trump sends classified intelligence in an “All Hands” email.
He already used Twitter to leak classified spy satellite info. Or discussing Israeli intelligence with Russia in a meeting, or posting a video of himself with Seal team 5 with unblurred faces.
I guess what I’m saying is that Trump spreads enough classified information without email.
BCC: vlad
Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed
Behold, LISTSERV
Trump: Major Domo? Never heard of him! I think he just gets coffee.
Don’t mention their name else their lawyers will come after you and your children for licensing.
“Whenever I’m not in your email, people should ask where’s Trump” - Trump, probably
Note: Trump died on the way back to his home planet
god that would be wonderful.
Better way for the dictator in chief to directly control the government with his latest whim and completely skip congress or any other people actually in charge.
I don’t understand why they even needed this.
I assume the US Federal Government works like other jurisdiction where the message is passed to all the departments/agencies who then send it to their employees from someone on high (Deputy Minister/Secretary) or a dedicated internal email address.
While this may seem like duplicating work dozens or hundreds of times, it’s not that much work and it’s not used that often. Plus, it has the advantage of not coming from an external email address.
North Korea has radios that play state-sanctioned propaganda and it’s illegal to turn them off. Dictators like to cram messages directly into the people.
Thats exactly how it works right now…really interested to see how they plan to use this…
Thanks for confirming that. Yeah, I’m also interested to see how this is used. Other comments don’t seem to get that politicians in charge give messages to pass to employees and the top bureaucrats just make it happen, so this seems completely unnecessary. Maybe they’re being paranoid that their controversial messages would be censored?
Back during the pandemic, Trump had the postal service send a letter to every single mailbox in America about the COVID relief money, to make sure everyone knew he was “responsible”. It’ll be like that. But email.
This is so Elon Musk can send out “morale boost” emails about working very hardcore.
“Hi Abidan, it’s Don. I need you to pick up some Amazon gift cards for me.”
“A nice guy on the phone said I should get Google Play gift cards so I can get my McAfee refund” - Donald Trump
It’s coming. He’s going to do it.
YOU’RE FIRED!
