Reply to comment by Totobiii in TIFU by Sending a Confidential Email to the Entire Company by CriticalCrit

This used to be a problem at my old job. Not because they needed to send shit to everyone but because they could and people are lazy. We eventually locked down the distros so regular people couldn't spam the whole firm.

If a company doesn't have their distro lists locked down, then this kind of FU is on the company and not the individual. So dumb

Yeah, but the clue is in the post. All our dust rod are locked down except to CEO, HR and Marketing. Marketing because the execs use them to create official company communications.
