Feature Request: Phishing

You can already do this with a ruleset based on the sender's email
address. But the whitelist for this really needs to be URL-based, not
email address-based, agreed.

I'll take a look into providing a whitelist for the URL's that are
checked in the phishing net. It would indeed come in very handy. I could
whitelist e-mail.egg.com!
