My email settings are:
It looked suspicious and I know that person did not send it.
Below is the message source detail, modified for security, and I have bolded part. With that bolded detail in combination of my personal settings, I am surprised it was not dealt with as SPAM by Plusnet. Would someone care to comment?
but on Sunday 2.44 a.m I received a message that read, "http://gunluk.cucugen.com/snzi/kbanvtpgqgplnaglawh",supposedly from an acquaintance.

No one has to agree with my opinion, but in the time I have left a miracle would be nice.

Put simply, neither the IP address the email has originated from, nor the URL in the body are considered as 'bad' by Cloudmark (yet). The email hasn't been sent from a compromised Windows machine (it's been sent from a valid mail host by the looks of things) and the mail hasn't fallen foul to other common spam traits like missing/invalid SPF/DKIM records etc.

Thanks for reply! I'm not sure which url you mean, but even if it's not particularly relevant becker.it is on 11 RBL black lists.

A quick lookup of 88.198.50.21 against 87 blacklists only lists it on Barracuda for me. The URL I was referring to was the cucugen.com one.

FWLIW I used this http://dawhois.com/rbl_check/?query=88.198.50.210&p=5. which I plucked out of the air. The 11 comes after clicking on the RBL tab.
Edit
Bob The last part of the address I gave was 210. You had 21.

Ah yeah, Cloudmark still doesn't see it as nasty though 

CSI is not currently publishing reputation for this IP address.
