RE: OOO FLAME

["Erin Carroll" <amoeba () amoebazone com>]

Unfortunately, I'm just the list moderator. So much spam, so little control
over it :)

SecurityFocus controls the pen-test mail server and listserv and I don't
have direct control over unsubscribing dead addresses or bounces like the
Google groups responses (I am not a SecurityFocus or Symantec employee, I
actually volunteered for this gig :)).

When I receive complaints and/or the bounces get out of hand I let
SecurityFocus know and they usually take care of it quite quickly. 

And yes, Out of Office replies are annoying :)

Hey y'all,

This is supposed to be a group for pen testers. Isn't it kinda lame for pen
testers to be broadcasting OOO messages to the world? Especially to other
pen testers? Especially from your work email address?

Can you say, "Hack me please! I am not in the office to see what you are
doing to my (choose one or more of the following) network / servers / web
site / database / users."

Come on now, let's get with it! If you have to send OOO messages, PLEASE at
least filter them so that they do not get outside of your organization --
or, especially to mailing lists!

Ever time I post to this group (and other SF groups), I seem to get about a
dozen bounces from either OOO messages or 'you do not have permission to
post to Google groups.'

Which brings up another point: What is with all the Google groups bounces?
If this is a SF auto-post thing, could someone in SF *PLEASE* obfuscate the
sender's email address so s/he does not get all those (expletive deleted)
bounces? If it is the result of some lamer in this group, will you *PLEASE*
find some other way to do the posting without the author getting flamed for
trying to post when they do not have permission?

</RANT>

Thank you for your indulgence.

Jon K.
