the lusers are getting dumber, not smarter

We got an egregiously bad phishing email:

"From: University of Arizona [mailto:[email protected]] 
Sent: Sunday, August 24, 2014 11:44 PM
Subject: Final Warning!

The original one said it was from [email protected]

So far we've caught 4 accounts that have been taken over by spammers because 
people fell for this, despite us reminding people, multiple times a year that 

a) We have no quotas, therefore any email telling you your quota is reached is 
wrong
b) We are network gods, and can do anything we want to your account without 
your password, therefore any email ever asking for your password is wrong
c) We speak english as a first language, and despite our coding practices DoNot 
use CamelCase in normal communications.
d) and basically ANY EMAIL YOU EVER GET like this is a phish to be deleted...

Sigh. We'll see if Google is blacklisting us.
