I'm getting strange emails PURPORTEDLY from my email service provider.
I've dealt with them (or predecessor) for >3 decades.
The textual content raises many red flags.
a. the emails did *NOT* include local telephone number
b. today's email had a *BLANK* subject line
c. the attachment to one email was an *.EXE* file
*BUT* I'm a Linux user
I notified them by telephone that I *suspected a problem*
How do I safely *FOR THEM & MYSELF* forward suspicious emails?
Most e-mail clients will allow you to save to disk the entirety of an
e-mail message, headers and body both included.
I suggest you save it to disk, then gzip or xz it, and send it as an
attachment to your provider.
