            Bug ID: 326072
           Summary: Scam detector misidentifies FQDN as numerical IP
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.11.2
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: gjditchfield at acm.org

The scam detector wrongly identifies Bruce Schneir's CRYPTO-GRAM newsletter for
October 15, 2013 as a scam. The "details" dialog says

This email contains a link which points to a numerical IP address
(baseball2.2ndhalfplays.com) instead of a typical textual website address. This
is often the case in scam emails.

That is not a numerical IP.

The link _is_ part of an example of a purported NSA malware site, but I don't
think that's what KMail is trying to warn be about...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Subscribe to CRYPTO-GRAM at http://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram.html.
2. Get it to send you the Oct 15, 2013 issue.
3. Open the issue.
Actual Results:  
The scam warning appears on the message.

Expected Results:  
No scam warning should appear, or no warning about the above link should
appear.
