We are continually seeing Australian bank phishing emails such as the
one below (I personally have about 10 a day) that always seem to get
through I guess it is because we are in Australia and it is only
targeted at .au domains and nobody has bothered to tell sort monster
there is a problem. However is there anything we can do to sortmonster
such as list all emails from the major Australian banks as suspect.
