@ryanc embarrassed to admit I searched Microsoft Smart Network Data Services because I thought it was phishing.
The date though… yeah probably real.

@ryanc Yep, those emails really are from MS. They're from the Junk Mail Reporting Programme (JMRP) which is having some major changes made, that appear to mostly be complete toss and will render it almost totally useless.
It's been talked about in email circles for about a week.
