Page 145 highlights

143 CHAPTER 29 Configuring phishing protection Anti-Spam categorizes unsolicited e-mail as spam (e-mail soliciting you to purchase), or phishing (e-mail soliciting you to provide personal information to a known or potentially fraudulent Web site). Phishing protection protects you from accessing Web sites that are fraudulent. If you click a link in an e-mail message to a known or potentially fraudulent Web site, Anti-Spam redirects you to the Phishing filter safe page. If there are Web sites that you do not want to filter, add them to the Phishing whitelist. You can also edit or remove Web sites from the whitelist. You do not need to add sites such as Google®, Yahoo, or McAfee, because these Web sites are not considered fraudulent. Note: If you have SiteAdvisor installed, you do not receive Anti-Spam phishing protection because SiteAdvisor already has phishing protection similar to Anti-Spam's.

Configuring phishing protection
Anti-Spam categorizes unsolicited e-mail as spam (e-mail
soliciting you to purchase), or phishing (e-mail soliciting you to
provide personal information to a known or potentially
fraudulent Web site). Phishing protection protects you from
accessing Web sites that are fraudulent. If you click a link in an
e-mail message to a known or potentially fraudulent Web site,
Anti-Spam redirects you to the Phishing filter safe page.
If there are Web sites that you do not want to filter, add them to
the Phishing whitelist. You can also edit or remove Web sites
from the whitelist. You do not need to add sites such as Google®,
Yahoo, or McAfee, because these Web sites are not considered
fraudulent.
Note:
If you have SiteAdvisor installed, you do not receive
Anti-Spam phishing protection because SiteAdvisor already has
phishing protection similar to Anti-Spam's.
