Hi!

I think you'll find it is some kind of a service that Dell uses to
distribute their newsletters/e-mail updates. If I remember the "HP Newsgram"
comes from a similar *.m0.net domain. I think I did look into finding out
who was behind this a while back, but if I did that, the name escapes me
now.

It's registered to Digital Impact which seems to distribute
stuff for others;

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.

Could also be done for security, to hide details about the corperate
mail system.

Shouldn`t that be an issue for the companies to figure out, not the end
user who is constantly being phished ?

Yep. I've had 2-3 Citibank phishing mails show up in my box, even though
I'm not a customer.

The end user needs to be aware of scams, phishing is a huge problem but
companties cannot bear the burden alone, end users have some ammount of
burden on themselves to not answers emails that ask for personal
information. Call up your bank and ask them about an email you get
asking for personal information - if its not a bank, call Dell, etc.
Its not hard. I've already got my mom and dad doing it as well as my
grandma, aunts, and uncles. They are not very computer literate but
they now have a little voice in the back of their head saying - Ohh...
That could be a scam...

People need to learn to run the computer not to let the computer run them.

Cyclops,
I get these also from time to time. For example I got one from Amazon. I
forwarded it to , they emailed me back and suggested I send
any further questionable emails to
http://www.amazon.com/stopspoofing . So
they are taking it seriously. Most of the major players do have addresses
that you can sent these emails to, they're very interested in the header
information of the sender.

If I remember correctly, RFC's require mail operators to have an
externally visible abuse@ address for abuse of the email system or
emails from the network that are abuse of that network.

I would be very surprised if Dell didn't have a similar address.
