Password reset spam?

Post by JonRFleming
This is obviously the wrong place for this, but it appears there's no right place. So here goes.

I just had to reset my password. Dunno why, but the board insisted. So I get an email:
Dear Wazer.

You have requested to reset your password on Waze.
Your current user name: JonRFleming 


If you'd like to reset your password, please click on this link or enter this URL in your browser:
http://www.waze.com/reset_password?uuid ... &redirect=

After you choose a new password, you will be redirected to a log in page where you'll be requested to enter your user name and new password.
Got more questions? Check out "Quick Help" on our support page.

Thanks!
Waze Support Team.
But both "this link" and the full URL lead to http://mandrillapp.com/track/click.php? ... e82009e37f

This causes Thunderbird to see it as a phishing message, and IMHO there's no reason to lie about the URL.

Waze apparently uses some kind of system to send out emails which tracks the usage of links within the emails. This is what the "real" URL is about. It would be nice if they didn't use this for some things, but I'm not sure what we can do about this. I'll ask.
