I've seen a few hundred of these emails in the past couple days coming in from multiple different companies.

I'm looking for more info.

at least one said it was zendesk, most did not say any software.

the tickets are being sent with CC addresses that contain large email lists. often others on the CC who don't know what's happening will reply "stop emailing me".

so far I've seen this coming in to multiple addresses and none of the sending companies are familiar either.

sounds familiar to anyone? any info on this? it's there a name i can lookup to find more info? i want to know what services this effects so i can properly protect my stuff and my work stuff.

I've only seen four or five. What do you use to filter your emails?

[–] knighthawk0811@lemmy.one 3 points 10 months ago (5 children)

other than specific filters and generic spam filter I have the "if content contains 'unsubscribe' then mark as read and never mark important"

Watch out for email footers like "This is important account information. You cannot unsubscribe from these emails.".

oh, yeah. it's not perfect but it sure does remove so much crap i don't intend to read.

i recently missed an event invite because of it... luckily i was just a late responder and have not actually missed the event itself

i definitely have to "browse" the unimportant emails regularly
