Reminds me of the "Bedlam DL3" story from Microsoft [0].[0] <a href="https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/exchange/2004/04/08/me-too/" rel="nofollow">https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/exchange/2004/04/08/me-t...</a>

Somewhat odd that in setups this large emails to all are unregulated. I'd expect those to go through some "approval" channel.

This happened at Qualcomm once. Some IT email was sent out to most of the corp and then people's vacation/out-of-office auto-reply-to-all propagated it more. Then people would send reply-all messages like "remove me from this list!" it went on for most of the day.

Can anyone explain why people leave their servers configured to allow arbitrarily long To: lists? Any large organization is just one mistake away from a Reply-All apocalypse.

This is not a ddos attack. More like ddos mistake or accident.
