We used to send out a monthly newsletter (text, about 1-2K) to close to 100
people and nobody objected. It did not require a script.

Did jp2 send more than 100K? I doubt it.

Re resp:52: I disagree that there are no acceptable use guidelines. See
resp:43.
If jp2's actions were actually making the system unusable, not just
potentially annoying people, then I understand and support staff's
actions. One person can't be allowed to load the system so heavily that
no one else can use it.

So you knew the limit and you went *far* in excess of it. Sounds to me like
you got exactly what was coming to you.
I don't think there should be any kind of exemption for election candidates.
I don't want Grex election spam any more than I want Pitt Student Government
election spam, or Presidential election spam. . . .

I think all of the staff is both benevolent and competent. I don't
think there are any bad intentions from the staff. I vehemently
disagree with resp:52.
My concern was for the election. I was under the impression Jamie
could not receive votes because the jp2 account had been disabled.
That appears to have been a bad assumption on my part. (You folks are
better at this than I thought.)
I still don't see any malicious intent by jp2. If he apologizes and
promises not to do it again, would you reinstate his account?

That's good.
It does leave a question or two in my mind, though:
Did you know it was against Grex system policy to send mass e-mails?
Did you know it would cause a big drain for the system? If not, with
your background, how could you not have known?

It's called 'nice' , n00b.

nice wouldn't have helped either, probably, if the problem was sendmail
using up too much CPU trying to make all the deliveries.

I've never seen the load averages jump over 6 or 7 when mass-mailing with
nice.

By the way, all the accounts that recieved the mail were off-site. I think
there was a sleep process as well. Only a person who didn't care about how
the system would run would neglect those two points.

If the email size limit wasn't *in* newuser at the time jp2 registered, how
was he tohave known? And besides Jamie, how is anyone that has registered that
long ago supposed to know the limit on email?

jp2's probably storing that 5mb odd replied mail on-site, thus filling up user
partitions. Once again, jp2's back to his old tricks. When will you people
learn.

When we sent out 100 copies of a message it was for the Kiwanis club. Would
it have been better to space them out over a few days? (#69)
