The Gmail Team emailed me a request from a known email address requesting me to allow mail automatically sent from this person to my Hotmail account. This person has a googlemail account and while he's known to me (and can email a reply normally to me) I want very little to do with him. I've tried to find out how to set up this service out of curiosity to no avail (I have a Gmail account). I am suspicious if I click on the Verification link, I may compromise my account in some way. Is this person trying to send any mail from me, onto other email addresses?? Or this this an automated message from Gmail when the person decides to change his current Googlemail address over to Gmail?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
