As the quality of the spam e-mails improves and the spelling and grammatical errors are lessening it is growing increasingly difficult to determine which are legitamate.
Would it be possible for Blizzard to provide an e-mail address solely for the purpose of forwarding any suspicious e-mails to receive confirmation, or denial, of thier legitamacy?

It is within every player's immediate power to tell a phish from a legitimate email, Kaan.

There is one sure-fire test.

Pop open the internal routing header. Is it from Blizzard? You shouldn't rely on the FROM address in any email, that's as easily spoofed as writing a fake return address on an envelope.
