Suggestion received from the contribute page: we could use WebOfTrust (https://www.mywot.com/) data to analyze links embedded in e-mails and use this for scam/spam detection.

Thanks for suggesting this enhancement and I would love to see someone working on this!

Currently scam detection is really limited.

Either you deactivate it or you live with the fact that scam warnings are thrown out regularly even with trusted email addresses that have a link in their signature for instance. 

There is no possibility of adding a email address to a trusted list and thus excluding it from scam warnings.
Severity: normal → S3
