Apparently the mails sent by Flyertalk.com do contain the deceiving links that SeaMonkey classifies as "likely scam". I don't know what kind of mails Flyertalk.com is sending, but when it is some service that has user accounts and is vulnerable to phishing, you do not want a whitelist based on sender Flyertalk.com because that would mean anyone can send messages "from Flyertalk.com" and they would never be marked as scam. When you don't care about that, just disable the scam detection. After all, it is just an extra service. When it annoys you, you can turn it off. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
