Matt,
I'm
familiar with the Y!DIRECTED and other tests that you've so kindly made
available. In this case I'm trying to find a way to identify these and
block them with the basic IMail tests.
If I
can't, then I'll have to route all of their mail through my Declude Pro
environment.

George,
I did
build a test for this exact thing and shared it on my site (called
Y!DIRECTED), but I thought that you might have been more interested in that
URL in particular and replied accordingly. My Y!DIRECTED filter will
stop most of this stuff and it allows for places like Yahoo and Yahoo's ads
(and counterbalances for the chance that a link might be forwarded or replied
to and sent to a local user). It only works with Declude Pro (like all
other custom filters).

Matt,
Thanks for the info. It's still difficult for me to imagine a "legitimate"
user having a redirected web site being pointed to as "their web site" in an
email.
More research I guess.

George,
Spammers will use a variety of Yahoo sub-domains, most of which are
valid. I'm not familiar with that one in particular, but it
might help
to search Google for examples of that showing up (that's how
I do some
of my research).

o.%2Bcom%22
Blocking that one address though would only be a fraction of the spam
that actually uses Yahoo's redirection though. Yahoo does use it
themselves of course, and they also have it configured for links in
messages sent by third parties, such as Classmates for instance.

Hi all,
I have an IMail client who doesn't have budget funds available for Declude
where these are easily filterable. A fair amount of their spam contains a
URL redirection such as:
http://drs.yahoo.com/effloresce/*http://click.com-click.com.ph/click.php?id
=
leneyei&ID=40&gi=hallmark
1. Is anyone aware of a dnsbl that deals with spamming URL redirectors?
2. Is anyone aware of legitimate email using this type of URL?
3. Is the drs.yahoo.com ever used for legitimate email.
TIA,
George
