I have been tasked with writing guidelines and procedures for an official process on how to handle inbound phishing and/or 
otherwise malicious e-mail. The bottom line is we will be asking our user to forward all such e-mail to a central account 
where we will check it for any further action.   Does anyone in the group have a similar process they could share? I'm 
in favor of continuing to tell users to delete the e-mails and go on about their business, but the task is on my desk.


We have our users send copies with headers to a mailing list.  If it is
the first time we've seen it, I add the Reply-To addresses and what
not to our database of recipients to watch for.
