Strange "you've got mail" message
Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2008 2:51 pm
Hey everyone,
Long time user, first time poster!
I just received a "you've got mail" message on Adium (v1.2.1) via my MSN account.
It's odd because I'm not registered with a Hotmail account - I actually signed up via a Postmaster account which I no longer use (Postmaster started charging last year, and I never renewed it because I didn't really use it).
The email sender and subject indicate spam, but it's odd - surely this message came from MSN's server? Have they been hacked somehow? Or is it just a random error?
I clicked "open mail in browser" and it directed me to an MSN page telling me I didn't have Hotmail (which makes sense!)
Thought I'd throw it out there to see what people thought.
