"Will the message get through"? Message delivery is not guaranteed. Even in the RFC's it is considered a best effort delivery. It works so much of the time, people assume it is 100%. It is not. So send your email, if it doesn't make it, send it again. If it still doesn't make it, then break out 35 cents (or whatever it is now) and mail it. You will have just as good a chance of it making it. The only thing I guarantee is that there are no guarantees.
Even if you do everything right and aren't blacklisted it still may fail at Joe Blow's Excellent SMTP server.
I agree, as I sit at my desk eating my cold chicken fried rice, well on my way to the 10th consecutive 65 hour week, I wonder, can a Government Issued clock-puncher take my job. Can a government job provide the minimum FDA required serving of stress required to prevent insanity via boredom.
Tell that to the drug cartels or energy companies. In a capitalistic world is that you are innocent until proven bankrupt.
The business of commerce is making money. If I am going to make the big bucks, and it requires a monopoly to do so, I hire Andersen Consulting to do a cost benefit analysis and if the benefit outweighs the cost (legal, your rights, employee law suits, whatever), then it is my responsibility to the stockholders (me being the biggest one) to execute the plan. Court cost, popularity, the angst of tech-savvy users is all a small part of the cost of doing business.
Hate it all you want, but the goal of capitalism is to make money not to uphold the law. If I can quadruple my profit by breaking the law at only a 10 percent increase in costs and penalties, then I am all over it.
I too can become a self-righteous idealist, standing on my principles after I am number one in the market. I could do it now too. The difference is no one else cares.
Get over it; big companies and not just Microsoft all do it.
If your 24, take it easy, take night classes, take some humanities classes too. If you find the classes easy, do some tutoring. Meet some college girls, go to some frat parties. Use the coursework to add polish to your professional projects.
Computer programming is very demanding mentally and emotionally. Slow down so you don't burn out so early in your career. If you have some fun along the way, so be it.
There is more to a degree than your major (ie time management, social skills, learning to play the game) and companies that require a degree are requiring these other skills as well.
Potential?, it will introduce a bunch of new headaches. Of all the email systems I have administrated, Exchange never ceases to work me over.
I agree with EvlG, standardize the desktop (a good idea regardless), but changing the backend when it doesn't deliver a significant improvement to the business is a mistake.
Alas, some executive read some Fortune 500 article about a company "leveraging MS Exchange's Excellent Groupware capabilities to turn simple e-mail into a competitive advantage" and now has to have it. Who cares if the perceived gain will take 5 years to break even with the implementation cost.

So hard work is a crime. How far will we go. Soon, using a software for a purpose other than the intended use will be a crime. When does it end?
