I recently saw an email come thru that had the cc as Cc: Company Name
- All Offices Mail List
Would this work for all business's? Is there a way to attach to a
company address book? I would like to send an email to the entire
company if possible. All I have for address is *@companyname.com
Short answer: No. * is not a valid smtp email address part and would not
be mailable.
Long answer, complete with very irritable comments and quite a bit of
education:
No, it wouldn't. You got the mail because your mail administrator set up a
distribution list/mail group called Company Name - All Offices Mail List of
which you are a member.
If you wanted to send to that distribution list at your company, you'd just
mail it assuming your mail admin hasn't locked it down so that every user in
the company with some vendetta/cool joke/urban legend doesn't mail everyone
thus reducing productivity.
If you wanted to send to a different company, the stars would need to
perfectly align in that:
a) They'd have to be running a mail server.
b) They'd have to have set up a mailing group/distribution list to comprise
all users.
c) They'd have to have an admin who should probably be fired because he
allows that mailing group/distribution list to be sent to from an external
address.
d) You'd have to actually know the address for the mailing
group/distribution list.
I am not a spammer or using this for commercial business.
An employee of the company who didn't want to receive the email might look
at your 'I am not a spammer' differently. "Spamming is the use of any
electronic communications medium to send unsolicited messages in bulk,
indiscriminately " -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spammer. If *I* got a
mail from someone I didn't know trying to expose someone else I'd definitely
call the sender a spammer. And I'd completely not believe it.
I intend to expose a homewrecking manager with hopes his wife will
hear about it.
Start a blog. I hear that's what everyone does nowadays. Or, if you're
just hoping his wife will hear about it, CALL HER and tell her. Sheesh. All
this 'I'm gonna tell everyone and hope it gets back to his wife' sounds so
7th grade. Grow up and just tell the person you want to tell what you want
to tell her.
