Earthlink still does this, at least for some of their customers. It's particularly annoying to be asked to verify your address so that the prima donna on the other side will get their order confirmation or tracking number, and given how many services send automated mail like this from no-reply addresses I'm not even sure how these people shop online. It's a relic from the age before Bayesian spam filters.
