DEC install - mailing behind my back!



I'm in the process of installing OSF/1 v3.0B on a number of new
AlphaStations we just received.  I went to look at my mail, and
was shocked to find this:

So is it the policy of DEC to surreptitiously send mail informing them
of what we do on our machines?  How many other things like this are
going on behind my back?
