Hi all,
I wonder whether I can prevent outgoing "bulk e-mail".
However, theres more than one way to send "bulk" email. If its collating all recipients in the To: header, the mail transport will disburse separate emails for each (rcpt to: ), essentially keeping the body of the email intact including the To: header - don't see many of those anymore. So I wouldn't assume that it would be sent that way.
I had this method in mind. I guess he would have done it that way, having all addresses in Outlook.
Perhaps you should've disable his account a few seconds after his threat.
I agree but I wasn't deciding. In general I don't like fixing social problems through technology, and try to stay out of it. For non-technical staff it is sometimes hard to understand why it is so difficult to implement requests as "Let John send all e-mails besides of the one that may be malicious." Should be easy, because: "You do it all the time, filtering spam." So the thought goes. Regards Peter
