Hi

OL2007

I'm now trying to use image in the signature, the recipient gets a warning
saying this email might be a phishing message.
I've seen that other emails I've received which contains images stored on
internet (it was a newsletter from microsoft), this email didn't get
phishing warning. But the email I sent did get a warning. So it is possible

So I'm looking for ways to avoid getting that warning!

Maybe it didn't like that the image I used was in fact an .aspx page which
outputs a jpeg image instead of regular html. And also maybe it didn't like
that this .aspx had a strange name, Show.aspx?id=31 (where 31 is the id of
the signature to display)

any ideas?

Given that Outlook and many other mail programs don't load external content
at all, except maybe from trusted senders, it's self-defeating to include a
signature image that's generated by an ASP page. If you include a static
image embedded in the message, rather than drawing from an external source,
you'll probably be fine.
