Over the weekend there was a known issue with Steam Guard e-mails being delayed. We have addressed this issue and most users are now receiving their e-mails as intended.

You ninja'd a key, then the other ninja that tried to get the key got angry, so he clicked on retrieve account button to annoy you with the steam e-mails (or to know which account he needs to hack? idk). That happens to me very often.

You can find his account name by clicking on his sg profile..
