SimpleLogin flags forum emails as "Possible Phishing Attempt"

Forum How to/Help
1

Hello! I’ve been noticing a slightly concerning warning prepended (like appended but front) to the subject line of emails I receive from no-reply@weightgaming.com.

In each subject line it says “[Possible Phishing Attempt]” and attached to the body text is a warning that says “This email failed anti-phishing checks when it was received by SimpleLogin, be careful with its content. More info on anti-phishing measure”

SimpleLogin is an email alias generator that I use to get email addresses that foreward to my main Proton Mail email for things that I don’t want attached to my main email. Below I have attached a screenshot of Proton Mail that shows the email and warnings.

Sending it to a default Proton Mail address has similar issues.

It doesn’t do much, just puts a little warning at the top so I’ve mostly ignored it.

I believe this is something the forum developer(s?) have to fix but they’ve got a lot of bigger issues (main site and wiki) so you can probably message them but I’m not sure it’ll get done unless it’s a really simple fix.

Its due to some new security verification stuff I need to setup specifically for email, but as @AimiIsFat stated its just been low priority with everything else on our plate.
