ABP for Safari injecting SPAM/Bad URLs into email source

Post by djseto »

I've been trying to troubleshoot with my employers IT staff as to why some of my emails to customers would get flagged by their SPAM filters. After lots of trial and error, I narrowed it down to ABP. If I send an email using Outlook Web Client on Safari with ABP enabled, the emails get blocked. When I look a the raw source of the email I see this (I had to remove some text due to character limitations for this post):

When I disable ABP, my source is clean. I only observe this on Safari. My ABP on Chrome doesnt have this issue. My customers SPAM programs are scanning the source and when it see's these URLs, it throw me into SPAM folders or flat out rejects me. What is going on?

Safari: Version 9.0.1 (11601.2.7.2)
ABP: whatever the latest version is
OSX: 10.11.1

I also just tried the same test with AdBlock (not AdBlock Plus) and see the same issues. I have no idea if this is a Safari issue or an AbBlock/AdBlock Plus issue. The test is pretty simple: Enable blocker, send email to myself, look at Raw Source. If I disable blocker and send email to myself (or others), the raw source is clean.
