One thing I've noticed is that Polyakov is starting to obfuscate the URL.
What would normally be caught because it's in the Spamhaus SBL is getting
missed because of this:

Good day,

Viazzgra  $1, 80
Ciazzlis  $3, 00
Levizztra $3, 35

http://www.printeryml.*com ( Important ! Remove "*" )



I saw a few of those hit over the weekend, they got caught with a
combination of DCC, bayes and the KAM.cf mentioned earlier in the
week. They also tagged a modified test rule I'm running at the mo.
body Test_01 /remove \"\*\"/i
score Test_01 0.1
describe Test_01 Test remove asterisk for URL spams

Warning, the above has not been mass checked and is running here only
as a test. I can imagine instances where that would hit ham,
particularly where some people obfuscate their email address.

No doubt a different character will be substituted for the * in due
course.

How about let SpamAssassin remove invalid characters like that from the
URL before passing it to the URL blacklists ? Different characters can
be handled by making this configurable.
