According to some unofficial sources, the number of victims of this endless mail chain reached 11,543 employees.

According to the BI source, this prelude to the good play is when an employee sends a message to the executives of Microsoft's GitHub account (the number reaches tens of thousands). The content of this first message is to instruct the user to turn off received notifications whenever new mail or new updates are available.

When receiving an email, there are individuals who do not want to be spammed and immediately click on the Reply All button - Reply to all, please remove from this mailing list. Of course this mail Reply All is sent to all accounts that the first message sent to, 11,543 people.

Other accounts are also constantly Replying to remove from the mailing list, some people try to guide others on how to remove notifications and even free people tease each other . Chaos swings begin and increasingly deep, even individuals who can unsubscribe from mail chain are still being pulled into.

In Microsoft history, this ridiculous event also appeared in 1997. At that time, they created a list of 25,000 employees to send mail and named Bedlam DL3. This list can be used in the process of trying to improve Exchange, mail server. An employee sent a message asking to be removed from Bedlam DL3 when he found himself on this list.

25,000 people saw the email and followed a series of spam emails continuously afterwards. The entire server of Microsoft "collapsed" in two days because the volume of mail was too large.

It has been more than two decades since the Bedlam DL3 incident. So far it has been mentioned at Microsoft headquarters. And no one expected, the old Reply All disaster was repeated at Microsoft. The new email spiral is called Bedlam Version 2 or Gitlam.

To prevent a similar case from happening and cause the company's email server to crash, do not click Reply All.
