It's a message from an eMule mod. Basically thanks to eMule's credit system 
there are now people and mods trying to steal the userhash of others in an 
attempt to use the credit they got with other eMules and now there's this Mod 
which tries to ban such hashstealers... Unfortunately though, it cannot really 
know WHO is the real person and who is the thief in which case it ban first and 
then goes to analyze both the users to see which one is the right one. (I don't 
know how it does this, I guess it checks to see whether you have the file which 
you previously uploaded and if you don't you obviously stole the userhash from 
the client that has the file... just a guess of course) Once it figures that 
out it unbans the rightful owner of the hash and bans the thief.

I'd ignore this message if I were you.
