Email Inboxes-- What happens when I "mark as phishing" a particular email?

I registered with Do Not Call.gov. But this is computer email. So what, specifically, happens?Email Inboxes-- What happens when I "mark as phishing" a particular email?
Usually, phishing emails go to the spam box, but as you noted, sometimes they get through and end up in your inbox.

When you "mark as phishing", the email likely gets sent to your spam folder. However, the email provider (Yahoo mail, gmail, hotmail, etc) will now know that one person believed this email to be phishing.

You can imagine that across the entire userbase, if a sufficient portion of the userbase believes that a particular email is a phishing email, then the email provider will recognize it as such, and will then mark the email as a phishing email for everyone else.

So for instance, the next time a phishing email ends up in the spam inbox, it could very well be because other users have marked it as a phishing email. Spam email detection depends both on automated algorithms and user-provided input, which is a form of supervised machine learning ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supervised_鈥?/a> ).

Phishing emails are illegal, but they're really hard to stop because most emails do not originate within the United States, so the U.S. has no jurisdiction nor power to stop them.Email Inboxes-- What happens when I "mark as phishing" a particular email?
