Anyone gotten an email about PGP?

I got this email:

-
You previously submitted the key shown above to the PGP public keyserver. The PGP public keyserver is now being transitioned to the new PGP Global Directory, and your key is one of those that will be automatically transferred from the old keyserver.

One of the features of the new PGP Global Directory is that all email addresses on the keys in the directory are verified. Your email address is one of the addresses associated with this key. Please confirm this is your PGP public key and your email address by clicking here.

Thank you.

That just seems suspicious.

Anyone gotten anything similar?

I do when I email from Linux. No real point in it, I just set it up a long time ago.

It's real; the new public server is going to do email authentication as a way to keep dead keys off of the server. Check Slashdot, there's a story about it.
