In the particular one that came to mind if I recall correctly was a badly configured distro list that let anyone reply to it. Normally broadcast lists like that would be reserved for people on a special comms team, but the permissions didn’t get restricted properly.
Interesting. I’ve never seen that, but I haven’t worked in a company where I’ve needed to send to more than, at most, 15 people at a time.
Probably should be a standard default setting. I wonder what the case for not doing this is? If someone needs to see who is in a group they can usually just open the group in their client and view the emails.
A majority of corporate idiots don’t bcc. That’s why the above happens a lot.
The talk of herding cats comes to mind…

Aaaaallllll the fucking time…
There’s a way in most email environments to setup a mail flow rule that will convert any email with over x number of users CC’d to BCC.
The system must handle the idiots, not the other way around
I’d rather a system that weeds out the idiots
