Not sure about this list, but most list digests also trigger after X
KBs are received.  This is especially useful on busy lists; nobody
appreciates having to wade through multi-MB multi-thousand message
digests every few days.

So the autoresponse I mentioned would be large enough to warrant another
digest (after all, it /contains/ a digest).  Repeat ad nauseum, or till
mail spool overflows, or till mailing list or autoresponding server dies,
whichever comes first.

It would take somewhat longer.  The digest cascade is more immediate,
and far more lethal.

Mail storms eh? I'd imagine if Tom was subscribed to the standard list he'd have a 
maelstrom of flames to wade through when he got back ... sorry I just had to make that 
play on words ;-) 


> The 200MB inboxes I mentioned some
>months back weren't hypothetical.

Reminds me of a loop we had at one stage ... 2 mail servers, both bounce virus 
infected emails from external servers and sends a warning mail to the intended 
recipient but one didn't block infected emails from being sent out. A user from that 
one sends an infected email to the other. You could imagine the flurry of activity 
that could have happened if an admin wasn't just by chance at the server console ... 
hehe

Umm ... I fail to see how THAT could happen given the digest only goes out ever X days 
... it'd be interesting though if he subscribed to the standard list and his 
autoresponder ended up responding to its own autoresponses ...

Bah ... I wasn't there so I get to reopen it ;-)

More like perfect (mail) storms.  The 200MB inboxes I mentioned some
months back weren't hypothetical.

Actually, if Tom's autoresponder had quoted the entire digest back, as
did happen in a couple of the abovementioned storms, all our inboxes
could be stuffed to the gills in 5 mins.  Nasty.

Anyways, this subject has been beaten to death before.  Time to let it
rest...again.  8-)

No, just one per digest (if I read the subject line correctly).  If Tom
had subscribed to the main list, then yes, things could get interesting.

Just one of the technical reasons why Reply-To-list is widely deplored.

I will be out of the office unti1 19 Feb., 2002.  I will be checking email 
periodically if possible.

If you need immediate help, contact Billy Clifford or Yvette Roberts to find out who 
is in the office that can assist you.
