DBT News Service Hacked?
Something happened to the DBT newslist. My inbox is flooded with messages. Someone should alert them.
I have nowhere else to go. There is no demand in the priesthood for elderly drug addicts
Re: DBT News Service Hacked?
Yeah, it's a little out of hand. Going to bed now. I'm sure I'll wake up to 200 emails.

It's not from us
Always go to the show
Re: DBT News Service Hacked?
My email is so messed up that I can't even delete half if these (from my phone)
And I knew when I woke up Rock N Roll would be here forever
Re: DBT News Service Hacked?
Crap - if it's not from you then who is it from? And how can it stop?
Re: DBT News Service Hacked?
Sad thing is it seems that people who respond to dbtnews@drivebytruckers.com end up sending a message to everyone on the list. By doing so, they make their email address public knowlege. If you do not respond to the emails, hopefully your email address will remain somewhat secret. (you still are a recipient of tons of emails until they fix the issue, but at least you havn't shared your email with everyone else on the dbtnews list.)

Re: DBT News Service Hacked?
Its rather annoying (putting on my most polite mask).
When is it likely to stop folks? Anyone seen this kind of thing before?

Re: DBT News Service Hacked?
Have already received 150 emails...Grrr. Who dares to fuck with HeAthens??????
Re: DBT News Service Hacked?
Hey guys! Here's the dealio:
Our server was recently purchased by a large corporation and they altered several things.
One of the things they altered was taking a long-dead email list and making it a FUCKING DISCUSSION LIST.
Nobody knew this until one person subscribed, then everyone on our list got the email.
The more people responded, the more emails people got.
All of this happened while I was asleep.
This morning I just went in and deleted the whole list.
Please let me know if you get more emails, so I can go choke the living shit out of someone for starting my Sunday off so wonderfully.
Sorry folks!

Re: DBT News Service Hacked?
Well according to my email history I seemed to be getting emails about every two or three minutes up until 9:25 this morning and they seemed to have stopped flooding in now so... good work Jenn!

Re: DBT News Service Hacked?
It's entertaining how many people couldn't figure out what was going on and just replies, thus making the problem worse.
Kudos for those of you that made fun of some of the dumb ones. Also liked Soup of the Day.
...and God damn some of you have anger issues!
EDIT: People are still replying, so whatever you did, didn't work Jenn.

Re: DBT News Service Hacked?
To those of you still getting them:
A lot of email servers are slow in delivering emails, especially when there are a lot of them - so once your individual email servers get finished sending the old ones, you should stop receiving the dbtnews emails altogether. The list has been completely deleted so there's no way it can continue.

Re: DBT News Service Hacked?
It seems to have stopped.
I just deleted 150 emails. My inbox hasn't been that full since I stopped subscribing to the "Lonely Russian Steampunk Girls Looking For Love" list. At least with that one I'd get naked webcam pics.

Re: DBT News Service Hacked?
Thanks for fixing this
Only thing that bothered me about it is that I don't ever remember being on a DBT mailing list to begin with

Re: DBT News Service Hacked?
Well gall dang what in the sam hell is going on? Nothing like an e-mail apocalypse to wake you from your hibernation.
Re: DBT News Service Hacked?
We had a mailing list going back to when I started the first DBT website in the 90's. If you didn't join it on purpose I have no idea how you got on it, because I didn't add anyone who didn't ask to be added... I didn't always control it personally, though, so it could have come from purchasing stuff, who knows - but the deal is that that list had been considered dead for a long time because our server told us that our list was too big, and we couldn't use it to send to so many addresses. Apparently they figured out how to do it when they started making all the changes they have been making lately, but didn't figure out how to do it right. I can not tell you how many emails I have responded to since I got woken up to deal with it at 8:30 this morning, but I can tell you that I'm not even halfway through. This was nothing that we could have controlled, since it all happened via our server, but man... I am switching servers ASAP.
