Emails From Soidogblues Band

[p_brownstone]

I am sure I am not the only one receiving these irritating Emails.

It started out with an Email informing me that Soidogblues Band - who apparently used to play at Tokyo Joes - were still playing (I forget the exact details of the message, it was of no interest to me so I deleted it without reading it fully).

I have no idea where they got my Email Address either.

Only my Email Address was in the Address Bar but obviously others were included as "Bcc" .

Some people were obviously interested in the "News" about the Band and have started to reply - unfortunately their replies are in some way sent to everyone who received the original Mail!

I have written asking them to remove my name from their List but even THAT Email was apparently sent to every original recipient.

Now I am getting copies of other peoples Emails sent to the Band asking for THEIR names to be removed from the Mailing List!!!

If anyone has contact with this Band could they please tell them their messages are probably losing more potential customers than gaining them so stop this Round Robin Email game immediately.

I've been receiving this spam, too.

Guys

Your email program probably has a "filter" function, check that out and set up their email address to automatically dump to TRASH.

That does not work because I get copies of Emails from every individual who writes to ask their name be removed from the List plus those from the few individuals who are actually interested in the Band and ask questions etc. - obviously each of these Emails has a unique Email Address so it is impossible to Filter or Block them.

When you next get the news from them, go to the venue and tell them to stop.

It's a bit of a petty. Very bad netiquette to promote businesses that way, and most likely a result from an amateur wishing to "help out".

They will definitely hurt the business because of this thing pissing of people.

Using a proper mailing list program with an unsubscribe link at the bottom is the only proper way!

Ha ha, this happened to a friend of mine once with a different newsletter, it's just down to bad management of their emailing system.

They probably set up an email account which is actually an email group containing the email addresses in their database - then, they would have sent an email "To" that group email address which was also the "From" address for the email, so then any auto-responders (e.g. "Out of Office" auto replies) will be bounced back to the "From" address, and so in turn forwarded on to everyone in the group. Plus, anyone trying to respond to the email (to unsubscribe or whatever) would then see their message forwarded on to everyone in the group. Not much can be done about it until they remove this group email set-up from their server.

I made the mistake of giving out my name card with mobile number on it as I entered an event at a hi-so tube looking place on soi 11.

Now I keep getting sms' that I can't reply to about the latest greatest DJ to show up at their establishment. They obviously are a poor judge of potential customers if they think I would be a prospect to join in the dark round sunglasses, poofy hair crowd.

I would try calling them to tell them to stop doing it but based on experience, probably wouldn't do much other than increase my blood pressure.

Rant over.

I get similar SMSes from an establishment on Patpong with no details of how to unsubscribe. A minor annoyance becomes a pain in the arse, though, when the SMSes come through at 10:30pm on a Tuesday night...

Do you use Gmail? They have a filter option that you can use with the title of the email as the trigger, that might help...
