[snip] I hate to sound like the big idiot here, but what exactly in the email you received indicates no-ip.com spammed? It looks to me like you just have some secret "admirer" who thought you wanted a no-ip.com account, and no-ip.com emailed you to confirm that you do want the account. Vivien Random disclaimer: Yes, we're a competitor of no-ip.com's... And yes, we used to send similar emails to people signing up for an account, although nowadays instead of sending them an initial password we send a confirm URL instead. -- Vivien M.
