Re: [SLE] CHECK THE CC BEFORE YOU REPLY TO ANY OF THE MULTIPLES
Some additional context is probably necessary so that the reply-to-list vs. reply-to-sender debate doesn't start again. Chris is referring to an incident this morning on suse-oracle where someone sent posted a message with suse-oracle@suse.com in the Cc: list about 15 times plus other misc. addresses. If that wasn't bad enough, people kept replying to this message without remove the huge Cc: list, which encouraged others to reply to the message asking others not to reply to it but also neglecting to remove the Cc list. A real mess, but no match for ezmlm-unsub, a postfix regex map, and some rm'ing in the qmail queue. Anyway, he's absolutely correct: please think before you send, especially to mailing lists with ~1500 subscribers. I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out what would have happened in this case if replies went to the list and not the sender. Yikes. Cheers, -- -ckm
