Thank you for the report but is it fair to run masses for filtering
phishing emails ? Phishing emails are not sent using the same bulk mailing
software spammers use. Spammers most of the time dont even understand SMTP
451 retry but phishermen do. Also, phish doesn't go with spam and ham..its
seafood for godsake :)

Hi Murty,

I just believe that you can have legitimate emails where ebay and an unrelated 
url
go together .... as a very simple case a friend might write he got / is trying 
to get a product through
ebay that is described on some site.
There has been a discussion about writing a plugin that could discover visible 
links vastly
different from their urls.
However, at least ebay works together with some company that uses 
ebay.someserver.com
style addresses that tend to look like phish at first glance
