As Matt points out, mail.msu.edu did not flag the legitimate MSUFCU alert e-mail as spam. In my case, Google's Gmail did flag it as spam. I did not see the CU's mailing, and only became aware of the issue when my boss notified ACNS staff Thursday night, and I looked for the MSUFCU notice in my Spam folder. Gmail has gotten VERY good as to false positives re spam, so this was unusual. However, I also did not receive the phishing mail. I spoke with a few other folks who are MSUFCU members who did not receive the warning e-mail. There were a few features of the mailing that they sent out that you could imagine might cause a spam score to rise. /rich On Fri, 4 Mar 2005 17:56:38 -0500, m. kolb <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Kevin Walter <[log in to unmask]> writes: > > > MSU Federal Credit Union was recently targeted by a Phishing Scam (~6:00 pm, > > 03/03/05).
