My company sent me a fishing test email from a "[email protected]" email address. I sent it to our security department and asked if I would ever get legitimate emails from that address. They never responded except to say that I passed the phishing test, so I set up a filter to automatically forward emails from that to our security department with a message questioning its validity. Let's security tell me if emails are legit or not.

My normal method is I will hit the phishing attempt icon that IT Security added to our Outlook on anything that I did not request or sign up for.

I'm sure the IT Security person who saw all the "free gift card" emails had a great Christmas if they claimed all the gift cards emails they deem legit.
