Without seeing the full headers (with your personal email address
snipped
out of course) it's nigh on impossible to work out whether it's a
phishing
scam or the genuine article, TBH, I'd come down on the side of it
being a
scam as you've already been using SMTP for years along with
everyone
else...if it's requesting personal information such as usernames
and
passwords then it's almost certainly a scam as your ISP already
has these
and could make any adjustments without your knowledge or
permission - the
space within your inbox etc belongs to them and they rent it to
you for your
monthly subscription charge....either post the headers or wait and
see.


Why not make a 'phone call to the ISP, asking them if they are
indeed,
sending out such mails or intending such action?!

Thanks Sacha, I think I'll try that.
