Hi,
I am getting false positives with bad URL for mailto: address links. An example:
Code: Select all
MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "domain.com" claiming to be mailto:user@domain.com
The following was added to /etc/MailScanner/phishing.safe.sites.conf:
mailto:*
*.domain.com
This did not fix the false messages.
Does anyone know what might cause this?
Thanks guys ,
Max

In the meantime,

I changed:
I did not notice this until just recently (after hacking around in Message.pm). This may be my solution.

According to phishing.safe.sites.conf
# Add your custom Phishing safe sites to the
# phishing.safe.sites.custom file in your MailScanner
# directory. Note that phishing.safe.sites.conf is
# overwritten when ms-update-phishing is executed.
So I've added my entries into phishing.safe.sites.custom:
*.domain.com
and then I have run the ms-update-phishing command
It works perfectly for me.
I do have to keep an eye on the messages coming in so I can update valid domain links send on behalf of another party.
