The email list I work for has a pretty basic system. If you send in a request, it sends an error message to the person who made the request and cc’s it to me.
This is all well and good unless the person has a fucking auto-reply which they send to the email system which generates and error which receives an auto-reply which generates an error…
And there’s nothing I can do to stop it.
Nothing quite like getting 300 emails in an hour from the same person. By 9 tomorrow morning I’m sure I’ll have gotten several thousand. I swear I’m going to hunt down this guy and flail him to death with the broken and dusty components of our email server.
No, let’s revise this. Bucko, I will find every single person that cares about your whereabouts enough that they want to know where you are. I will then rally every single other person on the planet to email you a few hundred times just so you know how many people simply do not care about where you are. Then amidst much feasting and dancing I will roast your testicles over a bonfire while explaining that auto replies are not necessary, as it is quite easy to email people who need to know where you are and inform them of your absence.
In short, fuck off and die, you server-crashing rat bastard.
