Blocked links

Recently Entourage spontaneously started blocking hyperlinks by adding the word "blocked" to the front of the url (e.g., "blockedhttp://www.officeformac.com"). What is going on and why? Secondly, how do I stop it from going on? It's frustrating not being able to follow a link to a URL I trust. I have to copy the link, paste it, and delete the word "blocked" to go to the Website referenced in the link.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I doubt that Entourage is doing this, or we'd have heard a lot more about
it. I suspect your ISP is screening the messages and doing this. Can you
check with them?

This is a security feature of Outlook and happens when URLs are copied
from one message to another. This is not due to Entourage.

Have a look at this for more information

Hope this helps!

This has been happening to me too. It all started when cleared my
private data, and it only affects certain links. I think it is related
to a phishing filter, but I don't have any phishing filters loaded.
