Is that correct? Short answer, yes. Long answer, it's like you said, "that it recognizes as phishing attempts." Most of the signatures are based off of scam URLs and fake email addresses. If the phish doesn't contain what it (SaneSecurity) already knows, then it will get through. > > My next question is, does it do the filtering even if mail is > forwarded from an MSU account to another account? Anything that comes from a non-mail.msu.edu server (i.e. music.msu.edu, gmail.com, etc.) is going to go through our ClamAV and SpamAssassin filtering. The message comes into our system, it scans the message and passes it onto either the @msu.edu user's mailbox, or forwards it elsewhere (if it didn't first reject it outright). > > My mail is on our music server, but this particular was sent to my > [log in to unmask] account, and obviously not blocked.
