Is this bogus?

Clicking on the link goes to 62.193.220.183 which is not postgresql.org

Hi,

Phishing scam for sure. I thought it was hilarious in a way: "Why

Yes, if you're look at the email as text rather then html, you'll see
it's a phishing attempt.  A very good reason to read your email in text.
