Phishing detection - FYI

[Martin Hepworth]

Julian

We've noticed that lots of HTML based email newsletters, esp from
electronics part manufacturers, have broken phishing style URL's in them.

I'm updating a ruleset to cope with this, but it is a problem with FP's
for people to watch out for.

IE people get used to the MailScanner warning message and ignore it as
white noise when an actual phishing style scam gets though.

I guess I could update to SA 3.01 and usethe Multi Surbl list's phishing
secton as well as the CLAMAV dectecton I currently use which seems to be
trapping the phishing stuff quite well anyway.
