    I had 4 of these, can't remember which issues they were supposed to be for. I assumed they were spam and just deleted them without even opening them - just in case. I'm sure some were for issues that I never even entered - really early ones, like 3.
    If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.

    I emailed Mark at Natmags and got the following reply:

    Thank you for your email.

    Real People Competitions are fantastically popular.
    To improve the way in which the Competitions Team handle entries, the
    architecture supporting this service has been amended.

    Unfortunately, while creating a secured archive copy of the current
    service, holding all past entries, some auto-reply emails were generated.
    This is the email you are enquiring about.

    Please be assured your competition entry was entirely safe.

    Thank you,

    regards,

  • I had another one today for issue 20 (that I entered earlier today) so it's still happening. I've entered again going through their site although I doubt it'll make any difference.
