I haven’t received phishing warnings on Fry’s emails, nor any others from the 
list (though do receive them periodically re other emails).

Since only some on the email list are receiving the warnings, I suspect its not 
related to Legacy’s email server.



First, those receiving the warnings: can you tell if the warning is being 
generated by your security application or by your email service?



The many different algorithms used by email providers and by security programs 
to sniff our questionable email can be incredibly complex and can result in 
false positives.  They can look for aberrations in many things including who is 
sending it, where it is being sent from, country it is coming from, what 
services its coming through, etc. – as well as various aberrations in the email 
itself.  And along the line it can be filtered by various and sorted  
blacklists.



My independent email provider optionally provides yet another level of security 
and filters some email.  When I began corresponding with some in Germany we 
noticed some of their emails weren’t getting through.  My email provider very 
easily solved that (I’m not sure quite how – whether they just added the 
sources to their own whitelist or subtracted them from a blacklist or whether 
they did it universally or just to my own account.)
