The main problem I always see to that is the fact that reply all doesn't have an confirmation or isn't the default.
I had similar issues back at an large company, some users replying 1k people sharing an unique link to an internal questionnaire because someone before them replied the original email asking for the link.
That and permissions, never let something like this be accessed by end users.
- Someone 6y agoIMO, the problem starts with sending an email to thousands of recipients (or groups containing thousands) in the “To:” or “CC:” field. I cannot think of cases where that is the right thing to do. If you want to host a discussion with thousands of people in real life, you let people send in questions beforehand, manually filter and group them, then hold a panel discussion between a selected representative group (or something similar) Discussions over email are harder to do than face-to-face ones, so, at the least, that’s what you should do with email to. If, on the other hand, you want to inform thousands of people, using BCC is fine. If you want to make sure everybody knows that a message is sent to thousands, start the email with “this message was sent to everybody in the foo, bar, and baz departments” or something similar.
