This is likely the spam filter scanning over the Links it finds in the E-Mail not actually something spitting the mail content into log4j (and I mean honestly, why would you even do that?)

How would that work with e2e encryption? What spam filter system would even follow ldap links?

That should be quite easy to check, by changing the URI scheme and rerunning the experiment.

Unlikely, spammers tend to get creative to bypass spam filters, it would probably scan anything that looks like a URL or Domain just to see if the IP behind it is sus.

Proton is not e2e for mails coming from outside Proton, if they aren't GPG encrypted. And in that case they apply very standard spam filters to your mail.

In case you trust any company blindly: any company that wants to keep playing the money game will follow the laws forced upon them by the government they are beholden to.

I assumed that the OP was sending from proton, to proton but looking at the screenshot again I guess that's not clear.

That’s the point. You’ll still get a hit. If it’s the RCE you won’t. Just went through this with an email security provider, would get 3-4 pings with log4j payloads, 2-3 with inert ones.
