shaw webmail site keeps getting blocked by nordvpn...

Hello,

NordVPN keeps blocking your email site wm-so.glb.shawcable.net/zimbra/mail claiming it's a phishing site. Is this an error or has my email been hijacked?

@Matt354555 does webmail work when you turn off the vpn?

@Matt354555 -- probably a "false positive" flag. Without the full text of the E-mail returned to you, it is difficult to determine which of the web-sites that offer "black-list" databases is flagging the Shaw mail-server.

Can you configure some other E-mail ciient (Apple Mail, Windows Mail, Outlook 365) instead of Shaw WebMail, and send a "test" message, to bypass that listed "WM" ("WebMail") server?

Matt354555

Yes. If I completely turn off the app.

mdk,

It's not returning any emails to me. After I enter my sign in info I get this when the page tries to redirect to the zimbra mail page.

I can access my emails by marking it as safe but I'd prefer to know it is safe before I do that.

Not sure how to configure an other email client as I don't use those.

Is it redirecting to the correct address? If it's a false positive you folks may want to send a message to Nord as it's a little disconcerting lol.

Mark as Safe

NORDVPN has detected that one of the many-thousands users of the Shaw WebMail was detected as sending "spam" E-mail. So, 100% of the users of both NORDVPN and Shaw WebMail are being blocked. Sigh.

Just click "Mark as safe" for you (but none of the other users) to bypass the message.

Maybe, somebody with an abundance of technical knowledge will already have reported the issue to NORDVPN.

Maybe, NORDVPN reacted to the report, and have removed the flagging of that web-site.

Maybe, "update" the NORDVPN software (if it has an "update" button) or by downloading/reinstalling NORDVPN (to get the most-recent release) to see if they have updated it.
