Why do a-holes post lists of legitimate e-mail addresses in usenet posts?
To get those recipients slammed with spam and infected e-mails. Same could
hold true for an imposter that wanted to deluge someone at Microsoft while
also frustrating Microsoft's users. The Internet is full of pueriles.
Fei didn't have enough prior posts for readers to qualify that the post
was actually his, and with all the different non-Microsoft domains used to
submit the post then it was a bit iffy that it was a valid post. If you
have ever received any phishing e-mails, you'll realize that a message
stylized as an official announcement doesn't make it so.

As far as phished emails go, most are very easy to spot for all but the most
naive users. The idea that someone would try to impersonate a Microsoft
employee at this level is quite frankly ridiculous.

However, a cross-posted message (for example) asking for complaints toward
Microsoft (to a valid MSFT recipient) may be feasible, and on these grounds
I agree with your argument. With the Sender ID program in mind, perhaps
Microsoft should reconsider their policy on making public statements via
these channels.

Fei's waiting for the responses he asked for.
There is no requirement for him to post again here as he had made his
request and is now dealing with the responses.

Exactly what level is this?

Hi, this is Fei again,

I want to thank folks who sent us feedback. We appreciate that very
much! I have sent acknowledgements your feature requests and we are
actively working on getting those features into the next version of
the certificate server.

For those who doubt the authenticity of my original post from
(e-mail address removed)/[email protected], I encourage
you to email me at the MS address. That will solve the mystery once
and for all. I do apologize for not replying to the newgroup earlier.
And BTW, I use Google Groups instead of a standard news reader because
I like its searching and capability. Sorry if that confuses people.

Once again. Thank you very much! Looking forward to working with you
again soon.
