Hello,

  Looking at recent botnet spam, comparing messages from one day to the
next, I see new URL's being advertised that resolve to the same IP
address as ones in the past.  Eg. some at http://pastie.org/9525224

The first of those was already on URIBL/RBL lists when it hit, but the
others were not - they all resolve to the same IP address.  The message
are hitting BAYES_50, on fairly well trained databases.  I dug around
some and as best I can tell, SpamAssassin does not resolve the IP
addresses of URL's and add them to Bayes when training, is that correct?
Would it not make sense to do so?

I could write a program to extract url's and add a X-URL-IP header or
something which bayes could use, but would this not be useful enough to
be in the normal part of training?

Also in the discussion, am I correct that a spamassassin "rule" wouldn't
be what does that, you would have to write a plugin?

Thanks,
Jesse
