I have question about one list from MailScanner. It is list at http://www.mailscanner.info/phishing.safe.sites.conf.master and here is part of text from it: This file contains the list of all the sites which can be safely ignored in the "phishing fraud" checks. My question can it be used by SpamAssassin and is there a point of using it by some rule which can produce negative score?
And there's ad.doubleclick.net right near the top! So it certainly includes web sites attempting to collect information about you without asking, which one might call lower-grade phishing. The purpose is probably just to avoid repeatedly running an expensive routine on some common hostnames that are already judged to be not outright identity-theft frauds. I don't see any reason at all to score lower for seeing these. Joseph Brennan Columbia University Information Technology
