Leave it there... They'll learn. :)

And of course, you don't stop services to run Exmerge.  It uses MAPI and the
store has to be running. 

An event sink that \dev\nulls all recalls would be better.  :)

It does, provided you read the "recall" message first -- but since Outlook
(by default) displays in reverse chronological order, and most people read
email in the order received, it does little good.

Back when I was involved in Exchange administration, I can't tell you how
many times I had to stop services and run exmerge against the store to clean
out messages that somebody accidently sent to a distribution list.

That .. and all the people that got embarassed due to incorrect use of
"reply-all" ;)
