 I would think uri rules would be a lot better than body rules, no?


100k URI rules?

Remember the days before the SpamCopURI plugin showed up?

Bill Stearns & Chris Santerre published such a file and it was a HUGE hog - the SpamCopURI showed up and SURBL was born...
Years later SpamCopURI became URIDNSBL.pm

Do we really want to go back to 2001?

I was suggesting URI rules would perform better than BODY rules, not that 100k+ rules is a good idea.
