Hello,

I have site that once in a while sends e-mail alerts about new book
reviews published in the site.

Recently I noticed that some Dutch e-mail servers were rejecting the
review alert messages because the site IP address was listed in VirBL .

I tracked down the issue and found that ClamAV was marking the messages
as Phishing, specifically Phishing.Heuristics.Email.SpoofedDomain .

I tested the message and isolated the HTML excerpt that seemed to
trigger that classification. If I removed it, the message passes all
ClamAV tests.

Here follows the relevant excerpt (already decoded from the original
quoted-printable message part).

<a href="http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/order/1593271204.html";><img
src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1593271204.01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg";
width="121" height="160" border="1"/></a>

This is a picture of the book cover from Amazon with a link to a page in
the site that lets the user choose from which of the several Amazon
stores that sell the book.

What I would like to know is why is this considered Phishing?

What characterizes Phishing.Heuristics.Email.SpoofedDomain classification?

What can I do to avoid such classification?
