Alessandro,

Also, have a look at the document phishsigs_howto.pdf in the ClamAV docs/
directory. It contains some info on identifying the reason for the phish
detection and on how to write whitelist signatures. You should be able to
create a local whitelist, local.wdb for example, and add that to your
database directory rather than modifying daily.wdb.

Hope it helps,
Steve
