Well, I'm not that good with a regexp, so I could well have it screwed up to
do that.
However, the intent is to catch

    http://www.ghjlfadsafd=hjkafdsjlffda.com/blah/blah

but not catch

    http://www.blah.blah.com/foo?=hithere

So hopefully that second scan will stop at the first slash.

Possibly I could have anchored it to the left side instead of using www. as
an anchor, and maybe caught some more spam.  But I can't find anything that
tells me what a left anchor means in a uri clause, or if it will even work.
Originally this was a rawbody scan anchored to "http://";.

However, at this point I wouldn't bother with that rule.  For a couple of
weeks it was catching over half my spam, since everything from Taiwan had
that signature.  On the day I posted that rule all of the urls from those
sites changed, and it has not since then caught a single spam.
