Email from @warframe.cp20.com, Legit or scam?

[-Zr-Scroll]

So 3rd Warframe anniversary is here and we all got Dex weapons by just logging in, which is really cool.

I even understand that DE would send us all email reminders in case some players were not that actively playing atm.

So I've gotten this weird email which seems legit and timing is perfect, but smells like a scam.

Also all the links within this email forward to websites that have nothing to do with warframe. Sites like 'cp20.com' and 'campaigner.com', which I've never heard about.
This email is mostly composed from images, but I've yet to allow my email software to execute any code nor download anything from within the email. So I don't know what the images include.

TL;DR;
So because of the metadata in this email, I can not trust that it is a legit email from DE staff. Thus I'd like to hear an official response from DE regarding the legitimacy of this email. If legit: Does the email actually include something useful for me like promo codes or is it only a reminder for the anniversary?

Thank you.

Is the newsletter distribution service used by Digital Extremes, is "legit", some branches of the government use it too. The quotes are because they've been involved in database selling and spam accusations.

I'll see if I can run it on a VM when I get home, take a looksie whats inside. 

Wont be for like 7 hours though.

I got it too. Looks legit, probably is legit. But DE should definitely work on that... Links to seemingly random places in an email instantly get the "NOPE GO AWAY" reaction from me.

The e-mail is legit.

It's all pictures of the dex weapons and proto excal and. The link will redirect you to https://warframe.com/news/tenno-reinforcements-66

imo, just delete the mail, better safe than sorry.

if the email just serves as a reminder, no point in even opening it anyway, as it already serve it's purpose.

Well I just find it weird that DE needs to use external services since they have the infrastructure to do it themselves.

I find that strange aswell, Their remainders always goes to my spam folder but when I send in tickets and they give replies its always in my inbox..

Is probably a vestige from their beginnings when it was just easier to use one. They offer some additional services too, like analytics and mailing users subscribed to other games sites not just Warframe.
