Causes an internet server to operate on Shabbos
Question
I’m subscribed to a Google Groups mailing list that automatically sends a daily digest at the end of each day (one email that includes all the topics in which messages were posted during the day, with the first line of each message). I just noticed that a message was sent on Friday night. Could this be a problem?
Answer
Shalom uVracha,
There is no problem with this.
a. The message is sent and generated automatically.
b. The company is non-Jewish, and even if it were done intentionally on Shabbos, it would still be permitted to use.
