Email from suspicious address

Options
I had what appears to be the exact same weekly money saving tips email as I received yesterday, sent to me today, but from an odd address:

[EMAIL="MartinsMoneyTips@uk2.lyris.net"]MartinsMoneyTips@uk2.lyris.net[/EMAIL]

Does anyone know whether this is a legitimate email or an imposter trying to get a safe listing in my address book or worse?

Thanks,

Matt

    I got one from that address too, along with the normal one, its currently sitting in my Junk Email folder and have emailed the webmaster to check.

  • Hi folks,

    Apologies but we've had issues overnight with our mail server and in an effort to get the Tip out on time, we've had to try an alternative.

    So yes, [EMAIL="MartinsMoneyTips@uk2.lyris.net"]MartinsMoneyTips@uk2.lyris.net[/EMAIL] is a legitimate sending address and if you received from here then it's from us.

    I got the same thing, but I also received the email from the usual address on Wednesday morning at about 4:20 am :eek: - that server really works early! - so I'll delete the duplicate copy.
