Can anyone explain why people leave their servers configured to allow arbitrarily long To: lists? Any large organization is just one mistake away from a Reply-A

Can anyone explain why people leave their servers configured to allow arbitrarily long To: lists? Any large organization is just one mistake away from a Reply-All apocalypse.
- Shanea93 10y agoAt the very least, the operations accounts, security, newsletters and Simon Stevens himself should have the ability to send a network-wide email - outside of that there's no good reason for Johnny intern to be sending an email to that many people.
- bcraven 10y agoThis may be a mailing list, rather than a simple 'Reply-All' thing (and the media have misunderstood). The reply box will be a single address if that's the case.
- astrodust 10y agoIf so, there's ways of limiting who can address that address and in so doing spam the entire company.
