Feature Request: Phishing

[Pentland G.]

Julian,

I think a possible solution could be to include a "phishing whitelist",
not quite sure how the concept would work yet as I'm thinking aloud a
little.

This would allow a disarm action to be used as I suspect if your users
are broadly like mine, the complaints are likely to be from a small
group of mailing list users and those mails could be whitelisted around
the phishing code?

Thoughts?
