Today i found out that one of the employees here has left us for more than one month now.
He recieves a daylie mail of changes on inventory and stuff by one of my programms. Bad thing is, no one told me he left, so emails kept stacking on his account.
I personally think such mails are good if errors occur or you need a daylie feedback, but what happens if you forget to who you send emails?
How do you think about this?
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

I'm sure he didn't tell you because he wants to sell the business information to his new employer...

Don't you get error that such email address does not exist any more?

Uhm, programm is running on a task server that executes it once a day.
So, nope im not getting an error 
Instead... omg, i think something bad happend...
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Shouldn't it work like this:
- Find the people from AD to which mail should be sent. People could be filtered out by using AD groups.
- Send emails to people located.
If the account still exists after a person had left the organization, it is big problem.

Yeah that would be a great idea 
I should change that, in fact it was just one person to recieve the email 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

If it's just internal, perhaps you could send it to a single mailing list and make it the IT departments job to keep that updated..

1) Code checks with the corporate domain controller - if the account does not exist or the account is locked, no email gets sent.
2) Generally speaking dashboards are better than email notification. Most people have outlook rules et up that just ignore the emails anyway and email delivery is not guaranteed.

Disagree. Filing a bug on an application I'm nominally in charge of supporting but not actively working on, that I'll only find out about if I explicitly visit the AINICOSBNAWO project dashboard is a guarantee that I won't see it for months if ever.

Do you have recipients hard coded? If so, is it possible to re-write the software to pull from a table of recipients versus hard-coded?
|

1 recipient -> hard coded yeah

{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);

I was looking after the local office of a small US company, including being the signatory for banking purposes. Five years after I left that company, I still get mobile messages at the beginning of every month about the amount credited to that banking account; deleting these fifteen odd messages is a monthly task.

Programs should really mail things to a group account if they have to do something like this. When someone leaves, they get removed from the group. It's as easy as that.
|
|
|
|

The trouble is that, most places I've worked, the groups themselves change every five minutes, so you end up either mailing to non-existent groups, or forever updating the mailing list (and e-mail templates! Soooo sick of having to change the "To" and "CC" lists in e-mail templates!)

We recommend using LDAP groups, so you'd add a person to that group and when you remove their account from the system, they're automatically removed from the group. It's a very simple system to maintain.

Er, yeah. I'm talking about the fact that one minute you can have groups "Dev-A", "Dev-B", and "QA", but the next minute, everyone's been reshuffled, and you've got "Implementation1", "back-end1", and "Testing1".
And the following week, "Testing1" is absorbed into "Implementation1", which is then split into...
... Etc. I'm sure you get the idea.

After many years of this problem, we just decided to start using only groups. But I see about a hundred places changes need made. 
We send a lot of emails. Most get ignored.
We have a dashboard of sorts. Mostly ignored.

We use shared mailboxes for that, not individual mailboxes.

Hi all,
Today my mother called me and asked me how to recover pictures of her phone...
I've thought of recuva (which works great usually) but no way as her android is not rooted and it is connecting as MTP and therefore recuva can't access it as a unit.
I can see there are plenty of options in the play store but most of them require the phone to be rooted...
I don't want to start installing a lot of applications as the more apps I would install more pictures can be lost permanently...
Any recommendation?
PS: Changing the place where I live and the phone number is not a real option.

I'd switch the phone off, to begin with. All manner of writes are going on while it's active.
If you download and install the Android SDK[^] (to a desktop/laptop), you can use that to access the discs on your phone.
Have a bit of a read of the docs, first. It's a simple operation, but can feel tricky the first time you do it.
[edit]
adb! It's the adb module that you need in the SDK -- I've been wracking my brains to remember it.

Probably just that he'd done Android development in Eclipse recently. One of the tabs in the cluster elephant is an ADB file browser for the entire phone.

Yes, I have had great joy with Eclipse.
Whenever I've finished with the damned thing and I uninstall it, it makes me incredibly happy.
