      I killed an old exchange server with an auto reply to a coworker who had an auto reply to me.

      Those were the good old days.

        I broke my brother’s exchange beta 4 install by telnetting into SMTP port and sending an email with an accidentally typo’d recipient. The bounce bounced, that bounce bounced and it continued until priv.edb was full and the service crashed. After a morning on the phone with Microsoft support he asked me if I did it. They made a hotfix for the bug.

      “Stop replying all!! Can you take me off this email thread please?!”

      The people who got pissed off were the best. And the whole company would see it. Those were the days.
