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.
Exactly how many is "quite a few" that looked like Lotus Notes?
My records show only Cynthia_Mamacos(_at_)lotus(_dot_)com and
Kevin_Pasveer%webmail(_at_)cpr(_dot_)ca
My previous example of Lotus Notes vacation notice abuse was on July 24.
Of the notices you've recently received, who besides Cynthia_Mamacos,
Kevin_Pasveer%webmail(_at_)cpr(_dot_)ca, and J-Bauer(_at_)telekom(_dot_)de are
not using
"Internet Mail Service"?
Have you not received "Internet Mail Service" vacation notices from
EKlein(_at_)ciena(_dot_)com
Stephen(_dot_)Dame(_at_)motorola(_dot_)com
EKlein(_at_)ciena(_dot_)com (#2)
EKlein(_at_)ciena(_dot_)com (#3)
akashper(_at_)lucent(_dot_)com
Volz(_at_)ipworks(_dot_)com
jeff(_dot_)einarson(_at_)intel(_dot_)com
Ngoc-Long(_dot_)Huynh(_at_)DREGIS(_dot_)com
Jack_Cheng-QA3581(_at_)email(_dot_)mot(_dot_)com
EKlein(_at_)ciena(_dot_)com (#4)
By my count, that's 7 to 3 in favor of "Internet Mail Service".
What is your count?
Exchange, to not send to mailing lists. Anyone can do this.
Even Lotus Notes users...
Any system can be messed up. I blame only the first of the four notices
from EKlein(_at_)ciena(_dot_)com on the perpetrator of "Internet Mail Service".
Note that start of this thread concerned broken anti-virus junk to
supplement software that is designed to be a trojan horse and that you
guys seem to be saying is somehow related to whatever generates the
vacation notice noise.
