I just received an E-mail message supposedly from the "BMO Team"
(bugzilla.mozilla.org??). It requests that I complete a survey. The
From address is <bugz...@e.mozilla.org>; note the "e". The survey is
supposedly at
<https://click.e.mozilla.org/?qs=7a1d21744c2b6ed97b0c784d91fb5873fc7b60989f9ff5fc0057ae965c5aca13592ffaf5042ee1e4faa27cc269cedbd5634e208192e38991>.

Is this truly from Mozilla? Is this legitimate?

Consider:
* Most state mandate that drivers have liability insurance.
* Employers are mandated to have worker's compensation insurance.
* If you live in a flood zone, flood insurance is mandatory.
* If your home has a mortgage, fire insurance is mandatory.

Why then is mandatory health insurance so bad??

Hi David,

Yes, the survey is legitimate.

Given that you are the source of the original E-mail message and that
your E-mail address does not appear as the Assignee, Reporter, QA
Contact, or Commenter for ANY bug report at bugzilla.mozilla.org -- open
or closed, for any classification, product, or component -- I need
someone else to confirm the legitimacy of this before I select the link
to the survey.

Last I checked, newsgroup from: emails aren't verified (case in point:
your email address of nob...@nowhere.invalid !), but in any case, Emma
is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/user_profile?login=ehumphries and most
definitely has BMO activity.

I can confirm that this is a legitimate survey.

Here's a slice of my Bugzilla history in case this helps your verification:

You could check the dev.planning archives. Anyway, it's an actual
survey, hosted on a mozilla.com subdomain (after redirects).

I would say it is legitimate.

Given that this server is inside the mozilla.org domain and therefore
the name is under the control of Mozilla, what circumstances can you
imagine where this survey would not be legitimate?
