Why are "obvious" link scams allowed?

hagman_01
I notice that incoming mail with misleading links (i.e. of the form
http://friendlysite
is not stopped by ASG.
Shouldn't it? I don't think I have disabled anything in that direction in my configuration, but maybe I did?

Regards
hagman

    that's a valid use of http so no it is not necessarily going to be stopped.  What you can do is disable html rendering inside your e-mail client and/or train your users in how to hover over links so they can see why the underlying url really is(html rendering is usually on in this case).

    Shouting ****** in a text mail is also a valid use of the latin alphabet, yet I don't want those.
