Strangely for Plusnet's spam filters a phising email got delivered to my inbox just now. I just checked my junk folder in outlook and can't find any of that sort, they are usually picked out by PN. The header is:
Return-Path: <root@wpc1044.amenworld.com>
From: "VerifiedByVisa" <Support@verifiedbyvisa.com>
To: <my_email>
Subject: Account Upgrade!
Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2010 22:13:26 +0100

I'm struggling to see how this got through, from and return path are different so shouldn't that have it flagged as spam?

Quote from: David from and return path are different so shouldn't that have it flagged as spam?
It's actually quite common for 'from' and 'reply-to' fields to be different, especially where a (legitimate or other) sender is using a bulk mailing organisation to handle their list.
If the headers you've posted are complete, then something has gone wrong. This message appears to have avoided the Ironport spam filters altogether. The headers show it as being passed by a Kaspersky filter (nothing to do with Plusnet). I seem to remember someone else recently having a problem with Kaspersky -- I'll try to find it and post a link.
Best wishes
Chris
edit: the other Kaspersky problem was different, but might still be relevant -- http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,86703.0.html

Valid point that, I just checked webmail.plus.net and looked in my spam folder to find a header:

As you can see that is going through PN but it appears the emails in my inbox are not, or the header is being stripped before delivery. Just sent myself an email and the headers are complete, so yeah, something is happening to some emails to let them skip the spam/virus server?

There should be no reason for emails to be bypassing our spam filter so please raise a ticket with full headers. It would be best if you could disable Kaspersky first, so we have unadulterated versions.

I ran a quick test using my gmail account, something (kaspersky maybe) is stripping the headers. I looked at webmail.plus.net after sending me an email from gmail and webmail gave full headers, outlook on the other hand stripped them down to the basics. I'll ask the guys at kaspersky because having the full headers can be essential sometimes!

You could disable the Kaspersky Mail Dispatcher
