outlook web interface, and your plugin (adblock) is enabled in
safari, the strange links appears in the body of the message and
the spam filter is blocking it.<br>
The first attachment is the dump of the email (with adblock
enabled, safari) that I have sent from my email to same address
because I can not send to any external one because o the spam
filter is not allow to go it out. Look that the actual email text:
"empty message" is at the bottom, so before there is an html
comment opens.<br>
The second attachment is outgoing email with adblock removed. See
that it is clean.<br>
I have not checked if the same happens when using gmail, but when I
am sending email from Roundcube mail web interface, outgoing
messages is clean.</p>
<p>I am going to send the same report to Apple support.</p>
<p>This happens only on Safari, but firefox adblock does not behave
this way.</p></div>alextag:old-support.getadblock.com,2013-08-06:Comment/332009832014-06-03T16:17:46Z2014-06-03T16:17:46Zadblock for safari ads spam to the email in outlook<div><p>I've passed this on to our developers who should take a look at

<p>Which version of Safari are you using?</p>
<p>Also, which version of the AdBlock extension is installed? The
AdBlock extension version can be found on the extensions Option
page.</p></div>Brenttag:old-support.getadblock.com,2013-08-06:Comment/332009832014-06-06T15:27:24Z2014-06-06T15:27:26Zadblock for safari ads spam to the email in outlook<div><p>Safari 7.0.4 (9537.76.4)<br>
Adblock 2.6.37 Russian Language.</p>
<p>I have installed the current version 2.6.37 from Safari

again.</p>
<p>Well, anyway I decided to remove the adblock and warned the IT
department, so they will remove adblock from all computers, because
it is compromised and behave unexpectedly.<br>
Also I am preparing the official complaint to Apple about this
behaviour.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, this is the way how AdBlock works.<br>
AdBlock injects CSS custom rules (as you can see) in order to hide
ads on every page.<br>
We are actually looking on this problem.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>

<p>Can you update this issue please? We're very interested in

that it has subsequently been fixed.</p></div>jim.cheethamtag:old-support.getadblock.com,2013-08-06:Comment/332009832014-07-04T14:35:48Z2014-07-04T14:35:49Zadblock for safari ads spam to the email in outlook<div><p>I'd be interested in knowing that this is fixed as well. Glad I
don't use Outlook, but it will be in any web-based mail system.
Also, who/what processes can "see" the embedded codes? Some of the

concern. Thanks!</p></div>Gerrittag:old-support.getadblock.com,2013-08-06:Comment/332009832014-07-05T18:47:04Z2014-07-05T18:52:37Zadblock for safari ads spam to the email in outlook<div><p>Hi,</p>
<p>I have made full reset of the Safari (7.0.4 (9537.76.4)) (also
removing the cache folder) and installed adblock v2.7.5. Please see
attached files. The problem is that the outlook spam filter is
blocking all outgoing email messages when adblock or adblockplus
enabled.<br>
Also I have checked the adblockplus and it seems that the result is
same.</p>
<p>I just disabled the plugin for the outlook and surrey email
pages and it is ok.</p>
<p>Regards,<br>
Alex</p></div>alextag:old-support.getadblock.com,2013-08-06:Comment/332009832014-09-03T15:49:39Z2014-09-03T15:49:41Zadblock for safari ads spam to the email in outlook<div><p>I've confirmed that this issue is still extant with my email
system using OWA (dump attached). This has lead to a number of my
emails being rejected due to spam links. This is completely
unacceptable, adblock should not modify the contents of emails.</p></div>Ross Hetheringtontag:old-support.getadblock.com,2013-08-06:Comment/332009832014-09-03T16:10:13Z2014-09-03T16:10:13Zadblock for safari ads spam to the email in outlook<div><p>I apologize for the issue.</p>
<p>Does white-listing the web site solve the problem?</p>
<p>To white-list a web site, click the AdBlock icon, and select
'Don't run on pages on this domain'. Then click the 'Exclude'
button. AdBlock will not block ads on that web site.</p></div>Brenttag:old-support.getadblock.com,2013-08-06:Comment/332009832014-09-03T20:15:02Z2014-09-03T20:15:10Zadblock for safari ads spam to the email in outlook<div><p>Thank you for the suggestion. Whitelisting the web client does
appear to stop the inclusion. I'd strongly suggest making that the
default behaviour, there are probably large numbers of users who
would never notice their emails being silently blackholed for
having ~400kb of links (including some for adult websites)
attached.</p></div>Ross Hetheringtontag:old-support.getadblock.com,2013-08-06:Comment/332009832014-11-22T00:31:23Z2014-11-22T00:31:24Zadblock for safari ads spam to the email in outlook<div><p>This was reported in May and still is not fixed?</p>
<p>My coworker asked why I was sending huge emails with porn sites
listed in the headers to everyone in my organization. I had no idea
until someone else brought it to my attention.</p>
<p>This is very, very bad. Whitelisting isn't a good approach, as
it will continue to do this for many other websites that use
similar interfaces. I've uninstalled the extension, but please have
sympathy for all of the users that you are causing issues for by
allowing this to happen without their knowledge.</p></div>Anontag:old-support.getadblock.com,2013-08-06:Comment/332009832014-11-25T20:54:48Z2014-11-25T20:54:49Zadblock for safari ads spam to the email in outlook<div><p>I had this one happen to me today causing my e-mail to get

is to whitelist the Outlook Web App. You can do this by clicking
the AdBlock button in the toolbar from the OWA inbox, and choosing
"don't run on pages on this domain". AdBlock will then not do
anything on the page, and so emails won't have extra code added to
them.</p>
<p>Let us know if this works or not for you!</p></div>Kierantag:old-support.getadblock.com,2013-08-06:Comment/332009832015-01-05T23:05:06Z2015-01-05T23:05:07Zadblock for safari ads spam to the email in outlook<div><p>Thank you - it worked for the out look web App. Please let me

<p>The server admins and user help desk staff here at University of
Toronto are reporting a spate of cases of this malfunction - users
with ABP installed in Safari using our OWA webmail are having every
outgoing mail either rejected as spam or flagged as likely spam
because of this unwanted junk being appended to outgoing
messages.</p>
<p>This is a serious malfunction in ABP in Safari. Telling users to
apply a workaround is a band-aid. ABP needs to issue an update to
stop this from happening at all.</p></div>Jim Pralltag:old-support.getadblock.com,2013-08-06:Comment/332009832015-01-30T00:10:03Z2015-01-30T00:10:04Zadblock for safari ads spam to the email in outlook<div><p>Hi, I've "discovered" this problem too on my new OWA account
(running Safari 8.0.2 on Mac OS 10.10.1), it's been causing a lot
of grief when some mail to clients is bouncing as spam. So this is
a known issue since mid-2014, apparently.</p>
<p>I opened a support ticket at Apple Mac OS 10.10 but someone
pointed me here.<br>
While whitelisting OWA might work for me (I will try it), it is an
unacceptable product solution, as I was sending 256KByte simple
messages out to clients for a month while trying to figure out why
two of them could not read my emails. I've spent 2 days getting to
the bottom of it. Multiply that times however many OWA customers
there are, you will have people grumbling about your product if you
can't fix it (not to mention the extra space taken by all that
added HTML).<br>
And no, I think "whitelisting all" by default, suggested above (?),
is a terrible workaround too.</p></div>R Jorytag:old-support.getadblock.com,2013-08-06:Comment/332009832015-01-30T16:01:30Z2015-01-30T16:01:30Zadblock for safari ads spam to the email in outlook<div><p>I got email from someone at AdBlockPlus pointing out that there
are two<br>
separate products with very similar names: AdBlock vs. AdBlockPlus.
They<br>
are from different sources and are effectively competitors. The
one<br>
named just "AdBlock" apparently sold out to spammers and has become
a<br>
trojan that inserts spam links into your outgoing messages.</p>
<p><a href=
"https://getadblock.com/adblock-is-not-adblock-plus">https://getadblock.com/adblock-is-not-adblock-plus</a></p>
<p>So first check which one you have installed. Perhaps remove
all<br>
extensions from Safari, then install just the latest AdBlockPlus
from<br>
adblockplus.org?</p></div>Jim Pralltag:old-support.getadblock.com,2013-08-06:Comment/332009832015-01-30T19:04:12Z2015-01-30T19:04:12Zadblock for safari ads spam to the email in outlook<div><p>Jim — This is the support site for AdBlock (not Adblock
Plus), and I can assure you that we're not sold out to spammers or
have become a trojan. Our <a href=
"http://code.getadblock.com">source code is available</a> for
everyone to inspect.</p>
<p>From what I can tell, Adblock Plus must also have a <a href=
"https://issues.adblockplus.org/ticket/369">similar issue on
Safari</a>.</p>
<p>Everyone else — We are looking into what other solutions
are available, but the only way to prevent this from happening for
now is to whitelist your OWA website (AdBlock button > Don't run
on pages on this domain).</p></div>Neelfyntag:old-support.getadblock.com,2013-08-06:Comment/332009832015-01-30T22:29:17Z2015-01-30T22:29:18Zadblock for safari ads spam to the email in outlook<div><p>Actually, I ran into this issue first a couple of years ago. Our

Adblock at fault (I was running it two years ago - and Adblock Plus
