Anti-Phishing filter blocking many legitimate links

[Johnnie]

The anti-phishing filter in Outlook SP2 is a great idea but the
implementation makes it worthless. It is blocking links in so many
legitimate messages that I find I am allowing the link to be active
almost automatically.

Is there any information on what the criteria are for a link to be
considered unsafe? How would the writer of a newsletter get his or her
links off the verbotten list?

there is no information on it - otherwise spammers would make sure theirs
were not blocked. The only links I have blocked are ones where the hyperlink
domains are mismatched. i.e., Sears uses cheetahmail to handle their
mailings and the images load from a cheethamail server while the hyperlinks
point to sears domain.
