Why then when I go to that web site I have Security Alert by my browser???
"The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name

It does not sound legit to me.
Please confirm, that it is safe to press Yes ("Do you want to proceed?") on
that window

Does the warning list the name on the Security Certificate? Is it
Microsoft.com?

That, of course, would not match www.microsoft.ca.

I will look into this further, but at first glance, it would appear to me
that MS is setting up some services in Canada and sub-contracting the
hosting. Sorry I didn't go further in depth this morning, I had a lot to do
today. I'll report back after I get more info.

OK, I ran through all the links, and I don't see anything to suggest that
this is other than a totally legitimate email. Just weird looking due to the
hosting. I would assume that this is, as I said, due to a bit of
sub-contracting. I'll ask around and see if I can get an official
confirmation.

All of the promos Microsoft runs are handled by fullfillment services. I
faithfully fill out those surveys that pop up once in a while when you are
browsing knowledgebase articles. For a short time MS was running a drawing
for cash as an incentive. Lo and behold I got an email saying I had won one
of six first prizes (a check for $500) and asking for my mailing address so
the fullfillment company could send it to me. I spent half a day hopping
websites until I convinced myself that I wasn't being scammed. I got the
check a week later.

I keep telling myself I should do those, at least once in a while. But as
you might expect, when I'm using the KB, I'm usually in a hurry. Now, with
what you say, I'm going to make a concerrted effort not to automatically
click them closed and to leave them until I get a breather!

Gary S. Terhune n/a posts	Re: www.email.microsoft.ca ---> is that true microsoft site??? Does the warning list the name on the Security Certificate? Is it Microsoft.com? That, of course, would not match www.microsoft.ca. I will look into this further, but at first glance, it would appear to me that MS is setting up some services in Canada and sub-contracting the hosting. Sorry I didn't go further in depth this morning, I had a lot to do today. I'll report back after I get more info. -- Gary S.

Gary S. Terhune n/a posts	Re: www.email.microsoft.ca ---> is that true microsoft site??? OK, I ran through all the links, and I don't see anything to suggest that this is other than a totally legitimate email. Just weird looking due to the hosting. I would assume that this is, as I said, due to a bit of sub-contracting. I'll ask around and see if I can get an official confirmation. -- Gary S.

Colin Barnhorst n/a posts	Re: www.email.microsoft.ca ---> is that true microsoft site??? All of the promos Microsoft runs are handled by fullfillment services. I faithfully fill out those surveys that pop up once in a while when you are browsing knowledgebase articles. For a short time MS was running a drawing for cash as an incentive. Lo and behold I got an email saying I had won one of six first prizes (a check for $500) and asking for my mailing address so the fullfillment company could send it to me. I spent half a day hopping websites until I convinced myself that I wasn't being scammed. I got the check a week later. "Gary S.

Gary S. Terhune n/a posts	Re: www.email.microsoft.ca ---> is that true microsoft site??? I keep telling myself I should do those, at least once in a while. But as you might expect, when I'm using the KB, I'm usually in a hurry. Now, with what you say, I'm going to make a concerrted effort not to automatically click them closed and to leave them until I get a breather! -- Gary S.
