Hi there,

Mail from our client Paypal is being wrongly flagged as phishing by ClamAv.

No surprise there.

We get this type of bounce erros:
554 Your email was rejected because it contains the 
Heuristics.Phishing.Email.SpoofedDomain virus

That's not a bounce, it's a reject.

Please make the necessary changes to your product ASAP.

Well... the last email I saw from PayPal had this in it, carefully hidden:

The mail did pass our SPF checks on receipt:

8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
Received-SPF: pass (mail5: domain of serv...@paypal.co.uk designates 
173.0.84.226 as permitted sender)
receiver=mail5; client-ip=173.0.84.226; helo=mx0.slc.paypal.com; 
envelope-from=serv...@paypal.co.uk;
x-software=spfmilter 0.98-gwh with libspf2-1.2.9;

but then it went in the bin.

Admittedly this was quite a while ago; we've been rejecting all mail
from PayPal since 2013.  All the same, you aren't helping anybody by
doing things like that.

I don't suppose you'll actually read this.
