Thunderbird sees numeric ip adresses as scam links, local lan ip's should however be granted to go around this scam detection since lan ip's could never reach the scammer's server, and are probably links from developpers or sys-admins on local networks to their users.

the following ip ranges come to mind:
127.*
10.*
192.*

and probably some others as described in the apropriate RFC.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.send link with local ip to user
2.open email, notice the scam alert
3.click and go to the server on the local lan, scamming the user into pay money to the sysadmin??
Related to bug 308366 comment 7 and bug 305089 (the Note: part)?
bug 308366 comment 7 is exactly what this is.

Local (as by RFC) ip's should not be triggering scam messages.
