Well this had to come eventually, but just in case others haven't seen
this... One of my users received a phishing attack that offered a link to
our webmail page and insisted that the user needed to login to secure their
account instead of asking for the password by reply. The link actually goes
to an exact copy of our webmail login page and records the username and
password of whoever visits the site. I've also seen HTML forms embedded
directly in the email that do more or less the same thing.
