Why are "obvious" link scams allowed?

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?

i use other products the claim to block these phishing attempts..but it's a very fine line between "obvious" scams and legit sites. Many times it generates quite a few false positives. Frankly user training here is best. of course if someone decides to not listen and clicks the link anyway the http content filter almost always nails them anyways. For Astaro users it's not a huge problem either way.
