Does anyone else get emails like these:
Specifically the [PHISHING] in the Subject line.
This header is off webmail so my email client gets nowhere near it to mark it.
Has anyone any idea where this subject tag comes from.
It's not a problem, I'm just very curious.

Somebody reported one of these a while back. I had a look into it then and confirmed that it was nothing to do with Postini or our spam filtering. The odd thing is, why would a spammer sending a phishing email label it as such?

could it be that a remote zombie site has a different anti spam that labled it as spam before forwarding?

That someone was me Bob
As you say it would not make sense for the OS to tag their own spam in such a way....unless their ISP has done it
I was just wondering if someone in the community has had experience of these before and managed to locate the source of the tag.
