We had this sent to us today letting us know there will no longer be emails sent by Microsoft for advanced notifications, etc.  Instead people are to use the RSS feeds or other mechanisms.  

********************************************************************
Title: Microsoft Security Notifications
Issued: June 27, 2014
********************************************************************

Notice to IT professionals:

As of July 1, 2014, due to changing governmental policies concerning the issuance of automated electronic messaging, Microsoft is suspending the use of email notifications that announce the following:

* Security bulletin advance notifications
* Security bulletin summaries
* New security advisories and bulletins
* Major and minor revisions to security advisories and bulletins

In lieu of email notifications, you can subscribe to one or more of the RSS feeds described on the Security TechCenter website. 

For more information, or to sign up for an RSS feed, visit the Microsoft Technical Security Notifications webpage at http://technet.microsoft.com/security/dd252948

Not quite sure what legislation changes they might be referring to (haven't seen anything yet). Either way if like me you used to receive these emails, you may no longer and you'll have to subscribe to the RSS feed.  

I couldn't find anything on the Microsoft website (let me know if you can), but when following the links for "sign up for email notification" every page visited only has an RSS or web option, no email.  

Cheers
