    Postmaster's worst nightmares

    This was taken directly from the support pages of storm.ca:

    Start/Stop Forwarding E-mail - If you want to forward your e-mail to another account - <b>WARNING - Do not forward your e-mail to your own account. </b>

    Start/Stop Vacation E-mail - Heading out of town? When this option is activated, people sending you an e-mail will get an automatic reply that you are away and unable to respond. <b>(NOTE - please do not send an email to yourself to test). </b>

    OMG!

    These are holes THEY SHOULD PLUG UP IMMEDIATELY!

    I'm not sure what's worse, the fact that one could do this or the fact they're TELLING YOU HOW TO DO IT ON THE SUPPORT PAGES!

    Ow.

    I used to work weekends for "Big Blue" we where contracted to an equally big accounting firm (NOT the one in the news of late) Someone, had created a e-mail group and one of the members of the group went on vacation, with the reply sent back to the group. Basicly what happened, is his "vacation message" got sent back to him when he respnded to the group. after about an hour. The groups mailbox hit 300MB and finnaly crashed the mail server. Nothing like explaining to a handfull of people that they have to delete 130,000 vacation messages from their inbox. LOL
