I receive similar mails all the time. Last was from Yahoo, something 
about some problem. In headers there was info that it was sent from some 
Indian domain. SMTP server it self is legitimate (Reverse DNS and all) 
so my server allowed the mail.

If I haven't asked for that mail (activation, etc.) I do not click on 
it, and even when it should be legitimate I always check the link.
