I've been getting these for months. It's one of those "inbox
protection" schemes, where the sender is forced to click a link to let
the message pass through. It appears to be a mobile phone mailbox, so
probably it was errantly subscribed in the first place. Can an admin
take a look?

Email is of the form:

13657...@139.com

Where the local part (13657...) is a phone number. (A mobile prepaid card, according
to Googling it.)
