Entourage 2008 helps protect users against issues created by phishing e-mail messages and deceptive domain names. By default, Entourage 2008 screens phishing e-mail messages (e-mail that appears to be legitimate but is designed to capture personal information, such as a user's bank account number and password). Entourage 2008 also helps prevent unwanted e-mail messages from deceptive users by warning about suspicious domain names in e-mail addresses.
The following list shows the various ways that Entourage 2008 identifies links as potentially dangerous and displays warnings in different situations.
