Because that means messing with the recipient list - that's donkey work
your client should do, hence my use of reply-to-all.
Wouldn't gmail thread it but still have 2 copies?
I could send email TO/CC/BCC the list to a specific folder, but I'd still
get the copy to me directly in another folder. What should I train my
donkey to do? I reply to all, then I only let the list address survive and
make sure it is in the TO field.
Attacking a server with the express intention of preventing it from working
correctly is in most countries. It's the technological equivalent of
getting prosecuted for assault because you defended your property from a
burglar.
Now I'm thinking I should inform the attacking server of the situation by
shutting them down until they address the issue. It may need new laws on
the books to cover my ass. But what do you think? Either a "YOU'VE BEEN
PWND BY THE GUARDIANS because you are either running hijacked services for
an attacker, (likely on an MS Windows flavor -- upgrade your OS to a non-MS
OS), or you are the actual attacker. When you patch your security holes,
THE GUARDIANS will consider your petition to re-enter the superhighway." or
some such. If the HTTP_USER_AGENT hasn't been spoofed, they all seem to be
Opera/9.0 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en), since I began tracking. If the server
could be shutdown and reported to an authority that would re-evaluate their
access to the net, it could help catch the attacker or in the least, stop
attacks on other "innocents".
Well, if the hijacked service is down, it will "hurt" the attacker. If the
"innocent's" server is down, they could learn about the need to be a better
net citizen while at the same time not providing services to the attacker.
The point I was trying to make is that your first step should be to find
out why he has that position, educate him as to the benefits of the CAPTCHA
and the complications that any other approach might have.
He holds that position because he does not want the user to have to enter
any additional keystrokes or mouse clicks (or think more?) while they are
becoming a sales lead. Not unlike your repulsion to cut and paste to send
only to the list perhaps?
