Details

I just got an e-mail which got marked as a phishing email because it failed the domain name test (i.e. the domain of the actual href was different from the domain listed in the http url text shown to the user). It had the form: href url: http://help.somesite.com text to user: http://somesite.com I think our domain name comparision check should work for subdomains and consider those a match instead of flagging it as a potential phish.
