Just today I noticed that I can forward e-mails in gmail based on filter rules. That made me wonder: is it possible to create a gmail fork bomb?
1 - create a google mail account 2 - create a filter which filters for e-mail from itself and forwards it to itself 3 - send a message from the gmail account to itself. Is this possible? I would like to believe the e-mail RFC somehow handles this scenario. If not the RFC, google itself must have thought For real excitement modify step two to forward two copies. Sure, it's not a true fork bomb. But it has the same pattern as a fork-bomb. P.S: I really shouldn't be reading GEB and doing gmail at the same time, especially at this hour. ;) Regards, - Robert http://www.cwelug.org/downloads Help others get OpenSource software.
