[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: [FW1] Autoreplies sent to the mailinglist
I just got from vacations and reading some of the 200 e-mails. I agree with Nico 100%. Just want to add some suggestion. If you don't like to get so many messages into your e-mail box sign off from the list for a week. Respect other list members. ********************************** Roman Zeltser, @National Computer Center, RSIS & DNE -----Original Message----- From: Nico De Ranter [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2001 4:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [FW1] Autoreplies sent to the mailinglist <rant> I am subscribed to a large number of mailinglists mainly development and security related. Some of them are low traffic some of them generate a few hundreds of e-mails a day. There isn't a single mailinglist amongst them however that generates as much autoreplies as the FW-1 mailinglist. Aren't we supposed to be a bunch of security aware people managing firewalls? Then why are so many people yelling "He, I won't be looking until xx/xx, you've got my e-mail address and domain from the e-mail headers, please go ahead and crack my site. I'll do the forensics when I'm back in a week or two." If you go on vacation to a far away island, do you attach a paper to your window saying "this house will be empty for the next few weeks"? I'm sure most of you will have a backup administrator to look after the firewall when you're gone but unless you're working for a very big company (s)he is probably not going to know as much about the system as you do. I you realy have to use vacation messages then please configure it properly so it won't send replies to mailinglists. </rant> Sorry for using up bandwidth with this message but I realy got pissed after having received the 20th autoreply message.
