Cisco email accidentally sent to 1000s of employees causes message list MAYHEM

[Ethnod]

lol oh man. I've actually had this happen to me. I sent an email from a charity I help out some times and I had set up an auto reply to one of the email addresses (the general info@.. one) and so had the other company but neither of our systems could detect when there was a reply loop and I had no idea what was causing it so 4 days later and 15k emails later myself and the tech guy from the other company figured it out lol

 

 

Exclusive Ever become stuck in a seemingly infinite loop of emails from colleagues hitting the "reply-all" option and asking to be removed from a mailing list containing the addresses of thousands of employees?
