We got a new email system for my school and some idiot IT guy sent a mass mail to everyone, leaving the “cluster name” in the To: field so that everyone can reply to it. And people started replying to it. And it goes to everyone.

The Simon Goo Test 10 was a system test of all email through CSUF. No response or request to be removed from the contact list is necessaary, ie.. if you are deleted it means no more email from anyone.

From Ammar S. Amirkhizi :
Dear Simon,
This is turning into something like hotmail or yahoo e-mail accounts and I’m sure many of us don’t like to monitor our e-mails for spam.
It seems that some students do not have the ability to recognise that this is a student e-mail account and it is not to be used for spamming.
Please take the necessary actions for them to behave in an educated manner.
Sincerely,

From Lea Bagtas:
It seems to be that “Test10” is just what it states, a test. It may or may not be a spam. Nonetheless, if you wish to reply to email TEST10 or anything related to it, please make sure that you are using the “reply”, or “reply to sender” button instead of the “reply to all”.
This way, no one is getting redundant emails or blanket emails. I have received over 5 emails, all of which had nothing to do with me. I’m sure this is as much as an inconvenience to me as it is to others.
Thank you for your consideration.

From Peter Martinez:
Yes, the main e-mail address list got leaked… somehow it started w/ IT sending out an e-mail to the “clusters” which probably means every student e-mail account.
Think of it as a huge myspace bulletin … yes, kind of annoying…

Soon after, the e-mails stopped coming. And then all of a sudden they were all deleted from my inbox.
In conclusion, it would have gone on for eternity, since there’s like 32,000 people at my school. Idiots.
