I checked the e address against past USPS emails and it does not match. DC number is showing invalid. Email date stamped 6 hours ahead of CST.
forwarded email to USPS technical depart but am now trying to figure out how to change my passwd on their site. Can't find the link.
Anybody else see one of these??

as a shot in the dark.
Also include full headers.

Thanks Jasperton, I'll do that. I finally found the passwrd change page. Someone posted just this week how to turn on headers in Outlook.
Anyone have the patience to tell me again?
Thanks!

Geez, now that I have mailed half of the nation,and changed every password, I figured it out. I feel soooo Dumbbbb!
This is an email generated by the seller of an item I bought tonight.
Wonder how much grief I just created for her??
Ok, glassgrl, you can go back to sleep now!
And I promise to never send another bidder an delivery conf email from USPS ever again. Receiving this dang near gave me a heart attack.

I just this very minute finished printing a priority label at the usps site. They have a new page for it now, a lot has is changed, AND they're offering to notify your package recipient via e-mail if you give them the receiver's e-mail address. I've never seen that before. Decided not to do it, too. But this may be why you got this!
Here's the url for the new page (at least, it's brand-new to me):

I am going to bed early tonight since I was RUDELY awoken at 1:00 am this morning. Do NOT, I repeat, do not THINK of me in the middle of the night tonight, I NEED some sleep!
If you want to play around over here, go ahead. Stay OUT of the negative threads and you won't get so paranoid!

"D" (her REAL undisclosed name - her posting name is ltray) and I have the ability to wake each other up. We laughingly call it "night shift" and "day shift".
she's usually on the night shift, however....every now and then D will decide she wants off the night shift and wake me up by thinking about me.
it's not funny when you are sleep deprived. I went to bed at 10 and was rudely awoken at 1 because she was thinking about me.
althought I do have to admit she is a great friend. sometimes we are just too close. we are usually on different ends of the sleep shift. she'll sleep all day and I get to sleep at night. however, it she decides she wants to change, I usually have a few sleepless nights while she adjusts..........

Ok, it was late and Christie Layne wasn't exactly someone I thought I would be hearing from. And she's at the USPS?? Give me a break.
Think I missed the message there,"One Day at a Time". I was going on my 2nd 24 hours, it was definetly time to go to bed!
I paniced, pushed the button, pushed every one of them as a matter of fact. Set off Glassgrl's Emergency perimeter alarm.
She'll get over it, always does.
BTW, it works both ways. She constantly wakes me up in the middle of the day . Nice enough to give me a 5 minute warning before she starts the phone to ringing!
And GG, if you must post a pic, could it please be one of those where we were both skinny?? God I hope you lost that Viking pic in one of your daily drive formats!!!

To re-ask the question. Are you buying something that could be shipped via USPS?
When I ship anything via the USPS priority, I use the online forum for postage and Delivery Confirmation. There is also a box to put in the recipients e-mail address. That way, the PO sends an e-mail to the buyer when they get the transaction and when it is delivered. Works quite well. And the date being the next day makes sense too. I print most of my labels in the evening and send them the next day. There is an option to post date the package to the next day when the actual pickup begins.

sorry Stone, I thought everyone had already figured it out.
It was an email generated by a seller thru the USPS system.
I just wigged out because it was late, I was seeing double and knew I had not shipped anything recently.
Amazingly, I had purchased a sweater with BIN just 2 hours before the email arrived. That seller is really on her toes! And neither her seller name or email addy had anything to do with Cristy Layne.
