Monday? Make it Tuesday for a truly well earned weekend.
Be fun if they held it hostage. Don’t bring email back up until demands are met. Worker ownership. CEO exiled to a remote island.
This was the opportunity I was hoping they’d take advantage of! I have no idea what the labor organizing looks like inside, but I bet it’s heavily monitored.
Been a very long time since I worked in IT, but I’m pretty sure at least some mail servers are configured to give up the attempt to deliver sent emails after x number of attempts have failed. Not 100% on this since mail wasn’t my thing, but I seem to vaguely recall that. If I’m right, then the emails most certainly are going somewhere - the “undelivered” graveyard.
First every hour, then every two, four, eight and then like once day for a a week . After that you get a ‘could not deliver this message’.
At least, that is how I setup my servers…
That could be a hacker movie plot.
“Oh no, the bad guy sent the info in an email! I know, let’s crash the servers until it gets undeliverable!”
The RFC recommends that it should be retried for 5 days. Which is also the default in most mail servers.
However, many larger mail providers, including Microsoft, only do a single day before the mail bounces.
I wonder if this experience makes them reconsider keeping to the RFC recommendation.
I find the idea of Microsoft even considering following an open standard to be laughable on the face of it.
Yeah, that’s rather untypical for them.
Microsoft overrode the 24 hour limit to 48 hours to give themselves more time.
But send side from outside MSFT isn’t in their control.
You make it sound like that’s a bad thing 😅
Also, a good alternative is LibreOffice. Or Euro Office.
