Hello, I just received a mail stating: "Your 8 important incoming emails are stuck on the opensuse.org Email server." a link sent me to the "https://ipfs.io" server that asked me for credentials, see screenshot https://www.cjoint.com/doc/22_11/LKEldUzfzvk_Screenshot-20221130-115948.png I find this very suspect what do you think? (source of the mail available) thanks jdd -- mon serveur usenet: dodin.fr.nf c'est quoi, usenet? http://www.dodin.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Usenet.Usenet
