Originally, when Warcraft Update encounters a new World of Warcraft server it is supposed to add it to the database and email me. The feature has never been tested so I was not sure whether or not it actually worked. The design was simple so I figured things would be alright.
Not so much.
Warcraft Update found 4 new servers, and emailed me. A lot. Apparently I forgot to add the closing bracket on the SQL statement causing it to fail. This means I would get emailed over and over again because it keeps thinking these new servers are new.
I’ve been sick the past week so I couldn’t be bothered to fix anything that wasn’t too urgent, so I let this bug just run. That image there is the results. Over 5,000 emails flooded my inbox over the week. Dirty.
Bug is all patched up and I’m no longer getting flooded. Business is back to normal.
