Due to the huge number of variants in the wild, our AV software can't keep up (probably nobody's can). Instead, we enabled a global rule which blocks any email from accounts such as billing, root, postmaster, antivirus, abuse, security, etc. which don't originate from our management IP space where our people work. As a result, we have stopped these phishing scams for our users dead in their tracks. -RobertWe did as well, but we did not yet find a solution for legit bounces.. it naturally breaks that. It's a temporary solution to what I see that is going to become very big.
The bigger issue is that users simply don't trust any kind of "official communication" anymore and I don't see anything other than pki that could actually restore that.
