Re: Phishing warning on WAMUG messages.

2011-07-07 Thread Kyle Kreusch
Hi Paul


 Some weeks ago gmail informed me that my account had been accessed from a
 computer in Singapore.


I love that security feature.


 My guess is that gmail is being rightfully suspicious of emails from my
 address. I feel dirty ;)


maybe, but can't see why unless your account was used to send out a ton of
e-mail.


 The others? Not sure, may just be looking at cookies or something and
 deeming those accounts 'noteworthy', guilty by proximity to some site or
 activity? Will likely pass.


it also could be that their e-mail address is getting used for a reply
address when spam messages have been sent out.

 Hope this makes some sense, if not I will clarify some more after I get some

...and not being a gMail user, I'm not seeing any these messages at all.

Hi David,

Either you have some “Spam or Phishing” setting in your Mail Account, or your 
ISP has.

Hi David,

I had a look at my setup when you sent me that message and it looks OK to me. 
The email is going through the correct server with the very same email address 
and password authentication as the cm200912 account. I am not sure what the 
problem is but others are also seeing this warning and think it may be a false 
positive from Google's phishing filter.

If anyone else has any ideas please let me know.

I definitely sent that Powerbook for sale message, so it wasn't phishing in
that instance.

As you can see, I also use gmail, but I am not getting any of those
warnings.
