Today Mr. Anonymity spat: > JUNK EMAIL??? What the **** do you call this crap?
*sigh* if I _have_ to explain it to you... On mail systems you have mailing lists and groups and such like. I work in an organisation where there are 1200+ mail users and you have an option of sending a mail to all mail users. What you get is some bastard sending a mail to all users that he will be off next week, or going to the dentist or something and the situation came to a head and there was much slagging (each flame going to every user). I was quite surprised, it only took 4 hours for the three mail servers to crash. Besides, sam-users has been quiet for all week (everybody is exhausted and having recurrent nightmares about partition tables...) and I thought it would be good to lighten up, so there. The Internet is also getting hammered by bastards who junk mail, not content with junk faxing or posting ads in the newsgroups. Dan.
