I received an email from myself saying I had signed up to something, and to up subscribe click on the link.
I thought Microsoft would use their own email address.
I recently had an email hack where a bot used my email address to send 700 spam emails, but I changed my password, and this is a different email address.
Should I click on the link and subscribe, or should I alert Microsoft?
I have attached a screen shot of the email.

Yes, alert Microsoft of the issue, and it looks to me as if someone was sending you that e-mail from your account, aka another hack. I suggest changing your password for your e-mail, and make sure any script on your site is secure and up to date. Microsoft will always use their own address for e-mails.

It doesn't matter what OS you are using.
As previous posters said, change all your passwords.
Someone has been hacking into your stuff.
If you are using the windows version of google apps, then yes, notify microsoft asap.
Microsoft has always been full of loopholes to me...

Oh yeah, I forgot PHP could do that with mail.
Maybe people haven't been hacking after all but just trying to trick you...

Does the fact that the return path is admin@papermail.ru.ru mean anything to you?
I've had quite a lot of spam accounts signing up to my forum using @papermail.ru.ru addresses.
