I definitely have no account with Disquis nor have ever contacted them; so I just deleted it.

This applies generally:
if you receive such suspicious e-mails from any company where you do not have an account,
then delete them immediately.

I regularly receive such e-mails, or e-mails saying "your account here at XXX ...", "a reply has been received. ..", "you have been contacted through .." etc, etc. in the header, from facebook, twitter, PayPal and many others, although I have no account with any of them !

I simply delete them without reading !

No - only followed by True, False or "Time Stamp". Lots of "from"  but usually deep in the code and never near a "received". I'm just going to ignore it




Yes...if the First     Received:  From is not from Disquis, ignore it!!

The rest are   to and from Google, or Satellite to Satellite etc.....
