Re: Denial of Service by Spamware?

Given the duration and frequency of vacation notice abuse from
users of "Internet Mail Service," the fault is in the software
instead of those who configure it.

This is what I mean. You're singling out one product. I just got
a bunch of vacation notices. Quite a few looked like this one,
below. Looks like Lotus Notes to me.

The vacation notices that I send out are configured, using
Exchange, to not send to mailing lists. Anyone can do this.

Even Lotus Notes users...
