Mail storms eh? I'd imagine if Tom was subscribed to the standard list he'd have a 
maelstrom of flames to wade through when he got back ... sorry I just had to make that 
play on words ;-)

Reminds me of a loop we had at one stage ... 2 mail servers, both bounce virus 
infected emails from external servers and sends a warning mail to the intended 
recipient but one didn't block infected emails from being sent out. A user from that 
one sends an infected email to the other. You could imagine the flurry of activity 
that could have happened if an admin wasn't just by chance at the server console ... 
hehe

Umm ... I fail to see how THAT could happen given the digest only goes out ever X days 
... it'd be interesting though if he subscribed to the standard list and his 
autoresponder ended up responding to its own autoresponses ...
