Hi Reindl and Al, Thank you for your feedback.
The domain https://epl.paypal-communication.com is used by Paypal for link tracking purposes in their emails. Their sending domains are for example: mail.paypal.com, mail.paypal.co.uk, mail.paypal.fr etc. To clarify, I work for Epsilon which is a major Email Service Provider (www.epsilon.com) and Paypal use our platform to deploy their emails, hence me contacting you about this delivery issue. I will pass back your feedback to Paypal so they can make a decision on whether or not they will want to make any changes to their emails moving forward. Best regards, Anne-Sophie Marsh, Sr Email Deliverability Manager EMEA T +44 2086143219 M +44 7469352383 Epsilon, 67 Broad Street, Teddington TW11 8QZ, UK epsilon.com -----Original Message----- From: clamav-users [mailto:clamav-users-boun...@lists.clamav.net] On Behalf Of Reindl Harald Sent: 01 June 2017 07:24 To: clamav-users@lists.clamav.net Subject: Re: [clamav-users] clamav-users Digest, Vol 150, Issue 19 Am 01.06.2017 um 03:04 schrieb Al Varnell: > I made an attempt to determine whether epl.paypal-communication.com was a > legitimate domain owned by PayPal with very mixed results. > > No WhoIs service could identify it directly and here is stop to read - let me guess you entered "epl.paypal-communication.com" including the subdomain and/or used some obsucre website doing whois requests [harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ whois paypal-communication.com Whois Server Version 2.0 Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars.
