      If you are looking for a straightforward way to protect users from phishing, consider rewriting the URLS in their messages and check their clicks in real time against databases of phishing feeds.

      You can check against - Google Safe Browser, Phishtank and other free phishing feeds if you don't have the money for real-time databases or proactive site scrapers.

      This is one of the ways that we protect the end user from Phishing at https://www.phishprotection.com - part of the magic is to do a bunch of sanitization before accepting the message including strict SPF, DKIM, DMARC validation / virus protection at the edge / and watching the registration of SSL certificates for commonly exploited domains https://blog.0day.rocks/catching-phishing-using-certstream-97177f0d499a

      If anyone is interested we rewrite URLs to match your domain name - something like linkcheck.yourdomain.com (protected by LetsEncrypt) and if you ever decide to leave you can export out the re-written URLs and redirect your domain to your own servers.

      If you'd like to give it a try, feel free to let me know.

      Certstream[0] is pretty cool. An great way to monitor for phishing domains[1]
