Thanks for the helpful responses. I thought it seemed okay, but with the
popularily of phishing attacks, it really seems strange that a major player
in the computer business wouldn't just use their own domain names.

Its not just computer companies at fault in this respect. I`ve had email
from Morgan Stanley (a credit card company) sent via a third party, with
tracking links that go via yet another third party.

Any email that needs to contain a link to a site with a password should
only be sent in plain text IMO. No tracking links should be used either.
