I finally set up my first auto-email script... and it blew up in my face

I was so excited about my new Python script that handled daily updates... but I forgot to check the recipient list. It ended up sending a hundred copies to every single person in the company, including the top boss. My team lead called me laughing, saying his inbox was flooded before lunch. Now I always double-check my code for silly mistakes like that... learning the hard way, I guess.

A hundred copies... to everyone?

Hold up. Are they really planning to mail that many out physically? The cost alone would be huge. Who's even on this "everyone" list? Feels like a massive waste if it's just going in the trash. What's the actual goal here?

Yeah, I've seen budgets get shredded over mailers like that.
