Details

I just got an e-mail which got marked as a phishing email because it failed the
domain name test (i.e. the domain of the actual href was different from the
domain listed in the http url text shown to the user).

It had the form:

href url: http://help.somesite.com
text to user: http://somesite.com

I think our domain name comparision check should work for subdomains and
consider those a match instead of flagging it as a potential phish.
