Let me try to say it more slowly then.
I wrote an email to some family and friends.
It was a warning about a Phishing scam.
It was bounced back to everyone I sent it to.
The reason was that Yahoo suspected my email as being a Phishing scam and refused to send it.
How can I get past this filter?

> When you receive mail from a "MAILER-DAEMON" or a "Mail Delivery

>
> These messages are produced automatically by the intended recipients
> email service and usually include a reason for the delivery failure.
> Bounced messages normally consist of two parts; the first contains the
> reason for the bounce, the second contains the original message.
>
> The most common reason for a failed delivery is that the email address
> entered is not valid.
>
> To receive the most accurate explanation of a failed delivery error from

Maybe if you had read the reason for failure, like I did, you would know that my email is being blocked because IT'S SUSPECTED OF BEING A PHISHING SCAM.
I am not blocked and the emails are valid.
Your filter is flawed.
How can this be fixed?
