    Nope it's not. Did you ask them to remove you formally?
    Or ask them to delete your account?
    If not, you are a customer, and this is a customer notification not a marketing email.

    Learn the difference, and educate yourself.

    A company should send targeted emails regarding service issues to those affected anyway, not blast the whole email database. If he was rejected from ordering in the first place the account should be closed also and avoid receiving emails.

    Look at email. There is text “your server may…”. What server?

    Company, which has data regulations in place remove inactive accounts on regular basis.

    Now I marked their email as spam.

  • Maybe it even goes further: according to Dutch AVG (law) you may not keep data that is tracable to a single individual if there is no need to keep it. You should have some kind of "cleanup" procedure in place. If your attempt to become a customer is from over 1,5 years ago, what is the need for them to keep the data? None as far as I can imagine. Should have been cleaned quite some time ago.

  • Another reason to use email alias nowadays. Simplelogin, addy.io, duck.com, own domain catchall, whatever. 1 unique alias per 1 service, any getting spammed can just block or delete the alias.

    And again another tantrum.
    Because your order was marked as fraud it does not mean you don't have an account there. Delete account, problem solved.

    kthxbye

  • Just checked my phone and I've got an email about the maintenance, pings from my monitoring that my QDE servers are down, an email saying the maintenance is done and pings saying my servers are backup....but I first found out about all of this from LET 😜

    Thanked by 1COLBYLICIOUS
  • In other words, @Hizakura should:

    • Implement processes to delete any user accounts that they don't have reasons to keep (according to various laws of course)
    • Filter out any customer accounts that don't have active services for maintenance emails. It's not relevant to them anyway.

    Boring drama thread, next one please.

    ROFL, so there is no need to keep the email, if customer decides to come back order a new server? And at that time, how will you login into account, using air?

    You have GDPR, use it, if you do not want to keep the account, period.

    We are saying the same thing, based on the same laws. Only the Dutch law (and maybe it's also in the EU law) states that it's the responsibility of the party that gathers the information, not of the user. That's what I'm pointing at; ofcourse a user should also be able to use his right to be forgotten, but even then, (in this case) a provider should also maintain his database.

    I've had several providers that deleted my account after 1 year of not having a service with them. They warned, and when I didn't react that the account should be kept it was deleted.

    @MikeA said: A company should send targeted emails regarding service issues to those affected anyway, not blast the whole email database.

    I’m not sure why, but when I selected customers with "all services" in HostBill, the emails were sent to all customers with either active or inactive services. For example, in the case of the OP mentioned, he attempted to order a service but the order failed. As a result, an "inactive" service was still recorded in his account, which caused the system to include him in the email list.

    I’ve since found a better method in HostBill to filter only customers with truly active services, so this type of email will no longer be sent to unintended recipients.

    Thanks for your understanding.

    @Levi said: Look at email. There is text “your server may…”. What server?

    HostBill does not currently support automatically adding the server IP from VirtFusion to email templates.

    Additionally, VirtFusion does not include a mass email feature to notify all customers directly.

    For this reason, we had to use the generic term "your server" in our communication, instead of referencing the actual server IP.

    Of course you can. But make it one topic per spammer. Don't invade.

    And it's a GDPR violation — you should report them to the authorities and sue for the millions you lost because your low-end mail server got overloaded by their spam.

    Hey @Hizakura , I've lost access to my VPS after your maintenance. Every task ended with "The system failed to respond to the action request. Further attempts are likely to be cancelled until the system is responding normally. Try again in five minutes." Ticket 600467. Take a look.

    @Hizakura I tried to rebuild and got this
