UTB Tech Support: The BlackBerry/Googlegroups Conundrum

Picture-3

The Penn community loves listservs. We also love abusing listservs. But for once, clogged inboxes and smartphones on constant vibrate aren't the fault of Claire Klieger and Al Filreis. Recently, it seems many, if not all, emails sent from BlackBerrys to GoogleGroup listservs are followed up by a "Your message was delivered to the recipient" blast to the entire group. Annoying.

Since everyone we know is complaining, we're here with a quick fix: create a Gmail filter that sends all messages containing the offending phrase directly to the trash. We're thinking that this could be a bug due to the recent addition of GoogleGroups to Google's Moblie App platform. But regardless, for the sake of our sanity: Google and BlackBerry, get along soon!
