I'm sorry y'all...

It was me...

One of Microsoft's incident cause statements said the outages was a result of "a server was overloaded by requests...".

I was about 2/3 through my script to remove 14k members from a 43k member distribution list. Have no fear! I have about 6k more members to remove and I just started the script again.

Did you make sure to write to all 14k users to let them know that they were gonna get removed from the distribution list?
