In other Microsoft Small Business Server news this week, several hundred solicitors (lawyers) in Dublin, Ireland experienced some major e-mail downtime because of some improperly configured Small Business Server settings.
A solicitor replied to an e-mail, sent by a local publishing company, and inadvertently triggered a chain reaction that caused the solicitor’s Small Business Server to e-mail the reply to the entire database… literally tens of thousands of times.
