Three days ago I received a message supposedly from the Google AdSense team (Google Adsense"<adsense-adclicks-noreplygoogle.com>).
Looking to the headers of the message it says "Received: from mail.keronite.com.tw"
"Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=softfail (google.com: domain of transitioning adsense-adclicks-noreplygoogle.com does not designate XX.XXX.XXX.XX as permitted sender"
It was in my spam folder and no "to" address was specified. New kind of spam or something? although I don't see the point. The message below.

I just got one of these, too. My thoughts were, like you, why? I then got to thinking that probably this is a huge spam mailing and they are trying to identify active email accounts and hoping that people will respond saying, "what the hell do you mean my account is suspend?" |
No, it's spam. With the mail comes a HTML file. When you open this file you will be redirected with a metatag to a AdSense phishingpage. The website is hosted on a free hosting service. Also note that no receiver is specified. |
Oops I was ready your anser wrong, yes it was spam indeed :-). |
