We should be marking ALL such behaviour as phishing and hope that the banks (etc) finally get a clue. I certainly wouldn't trust my money with an outfit that was that clueless about security. Cheers, Phil
Actually in some ways this leads to an interesting idea. In our wiki here perhaps we should write some guidelines for banks and everyone else running legitimate email servers as to what is the correct way to configure their servers. The first thig that come to mind is getting FCrDNS correct and making sure that the domain of the from address, the HELO, and FCrDNS all resolve to the banks domain.
In the case of gmail - I really wish the gmail servers resolved to gmail.com instead of google.com. Same with msn.com resolving to hotmail.com. Perhaps I should start working on this?
