Oddblog

Welcome to the Oddblog, where we prattle on incessantly about bug fixes, feature additions and all things Oddpost. Please note that if there are no announcements on a given day, it does in fact mean we were out blowing your subscriber dollars on handcrafted doilies and pink champagne.

You may have recently received an email claiming to be from "the Oddpost.com team" demanding that you run an attachment to avoid an interruption in service. The message is of course fake -- similar messages have been sent to customers of many other mail service providers over the past several weeks. Oddpost will never ask you to run an attached file, and we will never send out a message with howlers like:

"Our main mailing server will be temporary unavaible [sic, sic, sick]" and "Pay attention on attached file."

If you pay attention on anything, let it be the sad fact that as long as there is email there will be grammatically challenged jokers using it to nefarious ends, and you must therefore be extra vigilant when opening attachments or sharing personal information of any kind.
