What are the chances that legitmate eBay, CitiBank, PayPal messages
will contain a URI that uses an IP address rather than proper host names?
(or contain a link to a ".biz", ".info", etc site)

Just make up a meta rule that says 'if From == (eBay|CitiBank|PayPal)' &&
( NORMAL_HTTP_TO_IP || BIZ_TLD ) then PHISH!!

If details are desired, I can share mine.
