Bill (and others), if you find an exclusion, would it be possible to post the offending code to the list?  This way I can keep track of the types of things FP'ing with the test and remove code that isn't necessarily useful.

I think I found the PayPal issue, seems that they have a program that isn't filling in a variable in this tag:

    <img src="" class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://%3%/images/pixel.gif">"http://%3%/images/pixel.gif" height="5" width="1" border="0">

It's a broken tag instead of them trying to obfuscate the address.  It's hitting the following line in that filter:

    BODY        0    CONTAINS    http://%

The tests with HTTP stuff could be overkill and it opens the possibility of hitting http:// followed by a non-number or letter.  Maybe I should remove those test instead of removing PayPal?  I doubt the test will be measurably weaker without the lines that do this type of thing.  I think that's what I'll do just to be safe.

In a day or so, I'll just start putting these in a folder on my site instead of posting them to the list so that people's filters don't start hitting them.  Of course I would recommend whitelisting either the group, or better yet Declude in the subject, that way PM's from the list don't get blocked.

Just an FYI, I've added:

MAILFROM -7 ENDSWITH paypal.com

to the "Test Exclusions", as it was flagged by the Obfuscation test.

Thanks Bill.  And I've got a few more in me I believe :)
