Phishing Sites

[Jerry Benton]

I spoke with Jules regarding the Phishing sites. We are deprecating the old system. I have rewritten the update script to use:

phishing.bad.sites.custom + phishing.bad.sites.conf

and 

phishing.safe.sites.custom + phishing.safe.sites.conf


- If the custom file does not exist, it will create it. In this file you would put your custom lists. This removes the problem of my original method where it clobbered any custom entries you had. It is also a lot easier from the administrator end (you) to maintain. 

- The scripts currently use http://phishing.mailborder.com but that will be moved to http://phishing.mailscanner.info soon. It will not matter which one you use as it will be the same exact thing.

- I updated the bad site generator to not include popular URL shortening services like bit.ly and goo.gl. The complete list is on this page: http://phishing.mailborder.com and I will gladly add anything you think should be added. If you already have a large list of safe items, you can email them directly to me in a text file.

- The new cron jobs are also here: http://phishing.mailborder.com. These will be included in the next release of MailScanner.
