Yeah, so not a Bright House Networks email administrator but I am affiliated with Bright House Networks. I have forwarded the thread to our email administration team. Cheers! Ed

I think it should be written in standard USAdian English, which that is decidedly not. Or perhaps the problem is that that subject line was supposed to be parameterized, and the number of bytes is missing for some reason. But in any event that is a common message to spoof, and the more bits of identity that are in it the harder it is to do so. That message format has almost zero bit of provider-identifiable data. """ Your Bright House Networks IMAP email storage for user () domain com is at 490MB, approaching your quota of 500MB. IMAP email permits you to access all your mail folders by storing them on the mail server, but because of this, all mail in your folders contributes to your storage limit. You can delete messages to reduce your storage, or move them to your PC. If you delete them, or have already deleted them, you usually must 'compact' each folder to reclaim the extra space. Alternatively, you can contact Customer Care to see about having your quota increased.

We struggled over this, too, and settled on some soft language, included information on how to purchase more storage, and also provided our email address and phone numbers.

Any brighthouse email admins on the list? My sister got the following high water warning message, with the included headers which, since they appear to include no Received: headers, look like they actually came from brighthouse's email cluster. If this is a real Bright House warning message, somebody should be flogged. Teaching people which messages is to believe is hard enough...
