My local city councilwoman's email address keeps being flagged as a scam.

districta houstontx gov

Is there anyway to train the scam detection to NOT flag this message as a scam? It's kinda silly honestly. HoustonTx.gov is the official website of Houston, Texas and thus not a scam. There should be an option to flag the message as not a scam or be a way to send false positive domains so the filter can be updated.

Scam detection is far from perfect. It is not trainable. It is either on or off. Documentation is here. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbirds-scam-detection

That kinda sucks. Everytime someone with thunderbird get's an email from their council person they get a message it's a scam. Seriously. But I guess I'll just turn off the scam detection.
