E-mail System Error on "One Book" E-mail Message 

A mass e-mail message requesting participation in the Marshall “One Book” program was sent through the Marshall University e-mail system on Monday morning, 3-December 2007. A technical error occurred when a very large number of campus e-mail addresses were blind carbon copied (BCC’ed) on the message. This resulted in a server application error which caused a large number of the BCC’ed e-mail addresses to appear in the body of the message.

Computing Services regrets any confusion or inconvenience as a result of this system error. The source of the error was a buffer overflow on the e-mail system. We should not see this happen in future mass e-mails.
