Phishing or new site testing

Post by HHHEddy » 30 June 09 1:46 am

I just received the following odd E-mail. Is this a phishing attempt or just simply testing for the new servers?

It appears to have originated from craigrat+gca_admin@ ?

Alls OK, It appears to be a system test.

Ops ! This should have been under the Geocaching Australia heading.

Sorry clicked on the wrong line. Steve

It was a mistake from my end, while configuring the new server.

My apologies, please see this thread:http://forum.geocaching.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=12425
