Summary: AOL redirect service now being abused --- check needed
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 2.61
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P4

Just received my first spam that abuses the AOL redirector. The offending URL
was:
http://www.aol.com/ams/clickThruRedirect.adp?1073757372,2147618210x2147531923,
http://shopping888.com/?rd=15
For the time being I've setup the following local rule. Something along these
lines should be incorporated into the base distribution. As with MSN redirector
abuse the score should be relatively low since it is expected that the target
URL will be outside the AOL domain (unlike the Yahoo redirector). Also, it
would
be great if the target URL was extracted and run through the "uri" tests
independently (this should be done for the Yahoo and MSN redirector URLs as
well). If that were done then the score for using a redirector could be lowered
even further making it less likely that a legitimate use of a redirector will
result in a message being flagged as spam.
