Right; this is what the SA people said. Nevertheless, we ship this rule as part of CanIt and haven't had any complaints about it. IMO, people who play tricks with https: URLs deserve to have their mail blocked, because they're only making it easier for phishing schemes to succeed. I realize that the SA team cannot accept my personal hot-button as policy :-) and respect their decision.
