I suppose it’s still possible that chtah.com is handling mailing-list processing for both Aerlingus and eMusic, but it seems unlikely to me.

I think is phishing as all the links in the email point to chtah.com domain but with the same look and feel as the original ones.

Sounds like it is legit though, another eMu-customer friend of mine got it too. In which case, shame on them.

Like all those 'alert@kiwibank.co.nz' emails I get. I don't even have an account with them, and I certainly wouldn't give them the email I use to register domains and never use for anything else.</p> Addendum: of course, sending from non-official domains should be seriously frowned upon, however given SMTP is what it is, if I were phishing, I’d forge the sending address anyway to be realistic.

There was a 'what's new at emusic' email that I got recently that I can't check where it came from because I apparently deleted it, yet it's not in my trash. Which probably means I deleted it on my laptop, and the trash hasn't synchronised yet.</p> If you tell me the subject, I can tell you if I got it also.
