An e-mail from Discourse Cloud Service saying Mailbox Storage is full

I got a strange e-mail on 2023-09-06, supposedly from noreply@discourse.cmake.org (can’t say if it’s a genuine address or faked headers).

Subject:

[CMake] [Code] Discourse Cloud Service:: Mailbox Storage is full. Wednesday, September 6, 2023

in which CLICK HERE TO UNBLOCK STORAGE is a link leading/redirecting to https://web-ad.ap-south-1.linodeobjects.com/webad.html#cmake+code@discourse.cmake.org, which I did not click/open.

I thought this is a spam/phishing, so I deleted this e-mail. And since that day I stopped receiving e-mail notifications about new topics in the forum category that I’m watching (or in fact any e-mail notifications?). So this might not have been a coincidence, and something did actually break somewhere :slight_smile:

That is certainly not a legitimate message from discourse.cmake.org.

I checked with our admins, and coincidentally there was a temporary problem with sending the notifications on that day. Hopefully you’ll receive the legitimate notifications again.

Yes, since yesterday(?) I’m getting e-mail notifications as expected, so it all seems to be good now.
Thank you for looking into this.
