We have just found out that a BOGUS EMAIL is being sent to some of our email customers.
The email begins:

Attention!

  On October 16, 2009 server upgrade will take place. Due to this the system may be offline for approximately half an hour.
The changes will concern security, reliability and performance of mail service and the system as a whole. 
For compatibility of your browsers and mail clients with upgraded server software you should run SSl certificates update procedure.
 This procedure is quite simple. All you have to do is just to click the link provided, to save the patch file and then to run it from your computer location. That's all.

The email then provides a link to an executable file.
DO NOT CLICK THAT LINK. EXECUTABLE FILES CAN CAUSE MASSIVE DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER. OR IT MAY BE AN ATTEMPT TO STEAL YOUR PASSWORD. EITHER WAY.-----DO NOT CLICK THAT LINK-----

THAT EMAIL DID NOT COME FROM US.

We are aware of a problem reaching webmail.connectto.net

In the interim, until we fix the problem, you can use webmail.gct21.net

We have just been advised that another attempt is being made to harvest email passwords from our users. THIS REQUEST IS BOGUS AND DOES NOT ORIGINATE HERE. DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL!!!!!~!

The text follows
