Phishing & MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from ...

[MJ Thomas]

Hi,
 
I have reviewed the MailScanner documentation and some of the support lists,
but I can't find an answer to my question.
 
I am deploying an enewsletter for our client using 3rd party email
deployment software.  In order to track links, the email deployment software
wraps the original HTTP links within a different URL.  For example:
 
<a href=" <BLOCKED::http://dcm5.com/t?ctl=7445D:9D6302>
http://dcm5.com/t?ctl=7445D:9D6302" target=_blank>www.thinkmcmillan.com</a>
 
For links like  <BLOCKED::http://www.thinkmcmillan.com>
www.thinkmcmillan.com, the following message is displayed when the email is
deployed to those email addresses who use MailScanner: MailScanner has
detected a possible fraud attempt from "dcm5.com" claiming to be
<BLOCKED::http://www.thinkmcmillan.com> www.thinkmcmillan.com.
 
Does MailScanner have a recommendation on how to handle legitimate wrappers
that are used for tracking purposes?  Is there some way of associating
dcm5.com and bridgewatersystems.com so MailScanner does not flag this link
as a possible fraud attempt?
 
Thanks,
