Forum notifications and Microsoft's SmartScreen filter
-
When forum notifications from the code project arrive to my mailbox at hotmail.com, I get a nasty-looking warning from their SmartScreen: "This message looks suspicious to our SmartScreen filters." The warning has a pink background and a little red shield icon, hinting that the message may contain a security threat of some sort. When I click the [dismiss] button of the warning, the logo (logo225x40.gif) appears, but the warning stays. It would be nice if you could figure out what part of the e-mail "trips" the SmartScreen, and re-arrange the auto-generated content in a different way, so that the warning does not appear.

You probably already know this but just add the address(sender) to your safe/white list. Problem solved...that's what I did and now I don't get those messages anymore.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, this did not fix my problem: although "@codeproject.com" filter is on my "white list", the warning from SmartScreen still comes up.

Sorry to hear. I just checked my Hotmail account and everythings is fine. My notification of your reply did not trigger the SmartScreen super-duper interceptor radar thingy. :)

We'll look into it here to see if there's anything obvious (or even unobvious) we canb do our end
