-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Here we have an excellent example of someone actually segmenting their reply between nonsense and useful information. The message is 68.18% useful and 31.82% nonsense (counting punctuation but excluding the signature, as is required under the Unified Rules of Posting, 1999 Version). Clearly he has disproved the earlier hypothesis and its alleged ratios.
Further, he places his nonsense in parentheses, thereby reminding the reader that nonsense always is an underlying, yet pervasive afterthought in the 21st century. His short but powerful post makes me question my place in the universe (am I useful or nonsense). He further compels the reader to contemplate his existence and face his own mortality. I am frightened, yet uplifted. I laughed, I cried. It was better then CATS. - -----Original Message----- From: Dale Geoffrey Edwards [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 4:50 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Kill new e-mail messages to previous employees Not that I know, but you can always nest a DL inside a DL.

In Exch 5.5\2000, is there a known limit to the number of addresses an object (in this case a DL) can have? - -----Original Message----- From: Ely, Don [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 1:14 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Kill new e-mail messages to previous employees Answer to the $64k question... The "Black Hole"... Seriously.... They go absolutely nowhere... - -----Original Message----- From: Arch Willingham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 11:10 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Kill new e-mail messages to previous employees Now to get that Woodruff guy really pissed off at my ignorance. I set up the now infamous "DL" with the dead e-mail addresses, and it works great...thanks to all of you that provided the solution! Now for the $64,000 question.....where do those e-mails go? Do the just get wiped out our are they sitting in Exchange somewhere building up like my wife's pregnant midsection? BTW Chris...your future house/hospital/parking garage/church can be seen at www.tuparks.com <G> Thanks!

Per 1, not knowing an acronym is hardly the same thing as not being prepared for class. I didn't chastise Mrs. Koslosky when she saw YMMV in usage for the first time and e-mailed me to ask what it meant. Course, I did give her a fishing lesson. Per 3, 100% might be a bit high, but 78.2% of all statistics are made up on the fly. I don't doubt that he has learned a lot from this list and occasionally dips his toe in. I like to think I do the same. Per 4, it might explain why the acronym "DL" was such a foreign concept to him, the idea of a DL with no recipients as a solution to bouncing mail is hardly a self-apparent one. When I first lit upon the concept, I must say I was quite startled by its simplicity. > -----Original Message----- > From: Slinger, Gary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2002 6:20 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Kill new e-mail messages to previous employees > > Per 1, that kinda goes to the original purpose of this list.
