Re: OOO FLAME

Um - who cares?  If I go on vacation, come back and forget to turn OOO 'off" then I am really in or am I really out?  
Or am I just daring someone to hack me?  Is no different than the carefully timed light controls people use to make it 
appear they are at home while on vacation - if your house is being cased by anyone with half a brain they'll figure out 
you really aren't home.  If the actual pesky messages bug you then create a rule to filter them from your inbox.

Cookies and milk for all.

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.
