Technique to block/quarantine phishing emails?

Below is a recent link about a fresh crop of phishing techniques where the @ symbol can be used to pass credentials to a website. Can anyone offer a technique to prevent emails like this from passing through a Fortimail appliance?

Or, lacking that, some type of rule in a FortiGate filter to prevent access to such a website?

Thank you!

Hi Peter,

It seems currently FML doesn't automatically strip the string before @ , we will discuss this with dev. Thanks for this info.​
