Description
I just received an odd e-mail from my server claiming that "We noticed a login to your Acme account from a new location."
I've never received such a notification before and I'm not quite sure what this could mean.
My best guess is that this was caused by NGINX Proxy Manager.
Despite it being in a docker container, the support at OMV claimed it's possible NPM used postfix to notify me throu an e-mail.
Here's the header of the e-mail

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>We noticed a login to your Acme account from a new location.</p>
<p>If this was you, you may disregard this email.</p>
<p><strong>If this wasn't you, you should immediately change your Acme account password to revoke access from all other locations.</strong></p>
<p>
Thanks,<br/>
Acme team

And the e-mail itself:
Here's what I assume happened:
- NPM generates a certificate through my domain provider's API (porkbun in this case) and on porkbun's UI there's another place where you can generate certificates;
- My NPM uses one of them and the other was created automatically when I registered a redirect record (URL forwarding) in the afternoon;
- Seeing that both the API and the manual way are generating certificates on my porkbun account, it's using the same email and NGINX consideres that "logins from different locations"
- The second one seems to have taken quite a while to propagate so that's why me getting this message in the middle of the night worried me;
Anyways, if that's really what it is, I still find it surprising that searching for the exact string "We noticed a login to your Acme account from a new location." gives me nothing. Feels like I'm the only person that's ever gotten this e-mail.
If possible, I want to know if it this is part of NPM's behaviour and if my assumptions are correct, and, if not, what should I be doing to remedy it.
Thanks
