This morning I received a set of emails from Github Enterprise that looked like the following:

--------------------------------------

To: [massive list of GE user emails]

Subject: NotMyInc Inc., your GitHub Enterprise license expires in 31 days

Body: We're reaching out to remind you that your GitHub Enterprise license is coming up for renewal in 31 days:

NotMyInc Inc.

License 123456

Created: April 18, 2012

Expires: April 18, 2013

Whenever you're ready, you can place your renewal order here:

https://enterprise.github.com/purchase

If you have any questions about this renewal process, or if there's anything else we can help with, just reply to this email and we'll be glad to help.

Thank you for choosing GitHub Enterprise!

The GitHub Team

---------------------------------------

Each email was addressed to a different customer whose license is (apparently) soon to be expired.

Ah, the famous "send it to everyone in the loop". Made a smiliar mistake once myself, sent it 7 times per recipient in the list, getting bigger as it looped :(
