[Spambayes] New email address added to your PayPal account

I think you must have sent this to the wrong email address.  Spambayes has
nothing to do with PayPal.

It's possible that the messages you've been receiving that are apparently
from PayPal are actually from fraudsters attempting to capture your credit
card details.  This is a fraud called 'phishing', whereby the fraudster
sends you an email claiming to be from PayPal but in fact linking to the
fraudster's own website.  The PayPal email you quoted included a link that
looks fake to me.

PayPal phishing emails are usually faked to look as though they came from
PayPal, but occasionally they include the email addresses of unconnected
people.  Maybe the one you received included the SpamBayes email address
in there somewhere, which is why you've sent an email to the SpamBayes
mailing list.

However this happened, we have nothing to do with PayPal, and can't help
you with your problem.
