I had one user yesterday report receiving a message similar to this, but I have personally not seen it. Searching through our barracuda, I don't have anything from ask.helpdesk, nothing with the subject ending with "email account now." Ha! Just found one with "UPDATE YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT" in the subject from "educationalwebmaster75 () yahoo com" routed through uoregon.edu, 128.223.142.41. Anyone from uoregon on this list?
