The unofficial online home for fans of the UAB Blazers. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

So the ticket office apparently wanted to let season ticket holders know that the Marshall game time is being changed (to 11am). Problem is their email failed to mask the other addressees in the distribution.

Want the email address of apparently every other UAB season ticket holder? You now have it. Check your "in" box.

This is how viruses and spam propagate.

ugh...

230 listed.

If so, a lot of work to be done.

I didn't count them. And just realized I should change the above post to include the word "apparently". Sure seemed like a lot though. I just deleted it.

And my virus stuff is up to date so you don't have to worry about me.

Who is mayor@tuscaloosa.com ?

(j/k)

I wondered why the Marshall game wasn't televised... now it is. And if we only have 230 season ticket holders, work is needed!

Some may not have an email address associated with their football season tickets & obviously some have multiple season tickets as I do.

Still should have been recalled from their end.

This was my guess.

The only way to really know is for everyone to post a list of all the email addressed they received in the mass email and compare.

I didn't think about the limit of # of email addresses.

At work there is a limit set by the administrator on the size of the attachments can be included.

230 would be a weird limit number, but it could be the rest of the emails sent.

My email addresses included the mayor of Tuscaloosa & somebody called blazeman1 who is not me.

This thread is now about shaming Draco into buying season tickets.

I have had instances at work & through church lists where someone took the list & responded to everyone with some other topic like yard sales, etc.

I get a kick whenever human resources does something ridiculous or our management.

Both have corncobs that you probably couldn't pry away from them.

You explained the joke...

So we're gonna need to go ahead and move you downstairs into storage B.

What would you do if you had a million dollars?

That's an interesting question you pose...

Oh I have tickets to every home game. I usually get at least 4 and have gotten 9 before but that depends on the home game.

Yours and my lists are different.

Edit: The email client probably sends the mass emails out in little chunks automatically because sending an email, however small, to 15,000 people all at once would probably cause all kinds of server problems. I don't know what pieces of hardware would be affected. I don't speak computer.

Even better: For a short period at BSC, you could send an email to every single student by putting students@bsc.edu as the address. It was amazing. Once I figured it out and had a little fun with it, they fixed that loophole.

That would be because it was set up as a group email account by them in order to send out emails to everyone.

Yep, but later they figured out how to disguise it or something to where you couldn't just type it in as an email. You had to be an administrator of some sort.
