Hello, I am absolutely overwhelmed with emails about situations that I shouldn’t have to deal with and on top of that a large number of these are fraudulent. Over the last weekend I deleted over 4,000 spam and fraud emails.
To that end: any email that I don’t absolutely need to deal with adds to noise that makes it hard to deal with what I need to deal with and means that bills don’t get paid, opportunities get lost, etc.
In particular: any email I get about the security of my account is assumed to be a security threat.
Therefore: any email that I get that I absolutely don’t need to get (terms and conditions update, privacy policy update, some thing I have to respond to) makes me consider that I should terminate the business relationship to reduce the load of junk mail I am dealing with.
So I am asking: is this email for real?

| Dear Plex User, You are receiving this email because our records show you are running Plex Media Server on a Linux distribution that uses Redhat or Debian based package managers, this includes Ubuntu, Raspbian, Linux Mint, and other popular distros. If you’re running Plex Media Server in Docker or NAS Devices you can ignore this email. We have recently made changes to our build systems that will require you to update how your Plex Media Server is configured in order to continue receiving versions updates via your package manager. This support article documents the instructions for migrating to the new repository. You can either execute a single line command that will complete the process automatically or follow the steps to complete the updates yourself. You will not be able to update Plex Media Server via your package manager until you complete this migration. If you have trouble completing this migration, please reply to this forum post and we’ll help you get this addressed. We apologize for this inconvenience. Your Friends at Plex |
