- Seriously, if someone posts "I got it too!" that means they are aware of previous replies. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 12:37
Any company that makes it possible to send an e-mail to all 5000 employees without some sort of authorization system? Fired. -- nm - ty97 May 23, 11:52 7
- is there one whole list address, or is the to/from box filled with 5,000 individual adresses -- nm - zeitgeist May 23, 11:56 4
  - I would presume it's a mail list (like [email protected]) but I would expect, if such a list existed, that e-mails to it would queue to an admin for - ty97 May 23, 11:58 3
    - you would think. We just got a message from IT saying they are working on blocking replies to the initial message. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 11:59
    - (perhaps alias or group is a better word than list here - but you get the concept) -- nm - ty97 May 23, 11:59 1
      - yeah, it's hard to say just how big the list is (it has an acronym I don't recognize) but it seems to be from the Washington office - loosilu May 23, 12:00
- I have no idea how they did it, but that's a good point. I don't remember ever getting a message for the whole company. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 11:53
- word. -- nm - amanda jones May 23, 11:53
