Hi All,
Our forum sends auto-generated emails and we have noticed some members had the below message embedded to as the first line of the email. Do you know why this is happening and what can be done about it?

[This message was identified as a phishing scam. Learn about phishing at <with a link to aka.ms/LearnAboutPhishing>

Thanks,
Sue

Sounds like your forum/domain has been blacklisted

How can that be possible when only some people seems to get the line embedded when they work for the same firm?

That's how it works, that one reveiving e-mail service has labeled the messages for some reason. It can be a blacklist, or a local antivirus software, but whatever the cause you sadly have very little you can do about it.
