WOAH! Email absurdity in action!

[Demon-Xanth]

A fake virus warning came through, after headers it scaled in at a whopping 59kB. Then the response from MIS calling it a hoax and to check first bumped it to 80k, and an agreement buy the head of MIS made it all the way to a whopping 102k as everyone in the company's email is on there three times! Who needs automatic sending viruses when you can have MANUAL ones?

You should set up mailing lists in your company. That is funny though - did it bog down your network?

Oh, I get it - the original wasn't from inside the company. Still though, the MIS dir. should have replied using a "thewholecompany@blahblah.org" thing.

We have that here.... to send email to everyone, I use xxxxeveryone@xxxxxx.edu
But, when you print out the header, everyone's individual addresses are listed... quite annoying!
