It would be a bug, but I am unable to duplicate it in current MailScanner.


I have tried

<a href="http://ilw.com/">ilw.com</a>
<a href="http://ilw.com/">ILW.com</a>
<a href="http://ILW.com/">ILW.com</a>
<a href="http://ILW.com/">ilw.com</a>

And none of these is disarmed by MailScanner.

What exactly are the domains in the "MailScanner has detected a possible
fraud attempt from "example.net" claiming to be http://example.com/"
message from MailScanner
