I received on from travel at Berkeley today as well, which I sent to
security.
The response included this text:
[Note: ISP does not routinely respond to correspondence on tickets
that are concerned only with the receipt of phishing attacks or spam].
:-/
I did propose that large lists be moderated until the policy is in place.
Also, I did propose that people that send email like this operate a
booth for a day during lunch about the hazards of spear fishing.

Nils,
I agree with you. I as well as a couple of other users deleted this
message because it was extremely vague and I also mistakenly told
people to delete it as well. Given all the rules we're supposed to
abide by and that should assist us in not only recognizing, but
teaching users how to recognize SPAM or phishing emails, these emails
make it really difficult to educate people. Luckily, you took the time
to email [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>, but is it
realistic to instruct people to email consult@berkeley every time a
confusing email like this one comes through? I would think that would
inundate consult@berkeley.
Bottom line, I'm concerned that I'm misleading people with my confusion.

Hi Micronetters,
This morning I received an email, in English and Spanish,
ostensibly from UCRS (the Retirement folks) about an upcoming
advisory board ballot. The email came from the non-Berkeley.edu
domain
"[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>"
and it landed in my Spam folder.
Consult@berkeley assures me that this is NOT spam. But it does
tick me off. Not only does this sort of unannounced
non-berkeley.edu <http://non-berkeley.edu> or ucop.edu
<http://ucop.edu> email encourage deviation from best practices by
the readers, it could have gone unnoticed or been deleted, leading
to the disenfranchisement of many UCRS members.
Am I just grumpy, or is this yet another in a long string of
questionable UC-generated emails farmed out in a clumsy way to 3rd
party mailers (this time in Texas)? It's one or the other, folks!
Thanks in advance for your wisdom.
-Nils
