It links to the real RL site it seems.

Also, edit out that last link before someone messes with your account.

The link goes to a non existant page on Rennlist. Phishing most likely. Obvioously it did not affect your ability to post and read.

Ignore it.

We do not send anything from @mail.com. Definitely a phish attempt of some sort.
