Roberto, Will the SURBL pick up a URL that is obfuscated as: http://ePronAR=2Ecom - http://eProNAR=2Ecom I am seeing a lot of urls and address formed this way. I have a filter, for now, that looks like: ((?i)http://.*=2ecom) But it seems to me that there is a good chance of false positives with this RegEx. Regards,

Is that the actual syntax (=2E) rather than the period? Yes or no,
SpamFilter won't catch it, we're looking for URI separators that don't
include the "=". We're definetly going to try to catch these as well in
the near future.

YES! They are using the =2E to "make" a period. Sneaky So in Sos! ------------- The Desperado Dan Seligmann. Work: http://www.mags.net Personal: http://www.desperado.com |

That's why I was asking... the =2E *should* not work, as it's %2e that
translates to the period. But it's late and I *am* falling asleep... so
could very well be already dreaming.

Got it, working on it to see if there's anything that can be done (and trying to see why the "=" works as you say...!
