Unless an IT admin stumbles across some interesting emails...
- shagie 4y agoA story I heard long ago when I was a contractor at Sun about the default settings for bounced email in sendmail (this was likely the early 90s when it happened - I heard it in '97). At one time, messages that bounced were sent to postmaster - possibly in hopes back then (when things were smaller) that the postmaster would know who it should have been sent to and pass the email on. One of the night shift sysadmins who was responsible for postmaster at Sun got an email that was misaddressed between a few manager+ level people for what would be considered constructed dismissal of a number of people. The following day, the people mentioned in that email found a printout on their chairs. ... and a change request when in to only include the headers(?) of the email message to postmaster rather than the body.
