I've noticed a new wave of spam with obfuscated URLs lately. There seem
to be a lot of them, and they are getting pretty fancy EG:
href="http://www.g%65%6f%63%69t%69es.%63o%6d%2fto%70so%66t%77%253fh%2569%257%34%2e%25%36%33tr%2e%2540%2565s.g%65%6f%256%33i%2574%256%39%256%35%2573.%25%36%33om%252f

The envelope domain in a spam is usually fo
I see that a lot of people on the list have carefully enshrined their spam
into repositories, and this turns out to be a great thing for when you
want to test rules.
Are there any collections out there available for download? Note that, i
don't need the headers because i can autogenerate them.
People should be allowed to not-read or not-receive any or all of their
email. Period. It doesn't matter whether it's because they are
xenophobic morons, or because they don't know anyone outside the US -- It
doesn't matter because it's their mail and their spool.

They could do that only with an inept ISP. Most US ISP agreements will
say somewhere that either party can terminate the agreement at any time
If a spammer sues you it will probably be in a US federal court. You will
need an attorney who is going bill you at hundreds of dollars per hour
whether you win or lose. It could take years to resolve.
I seriously doubt whether any attorney would defend you with the
understanding that he'll g

Whether the spammer could win is academic. The cost of defending against
a suit in US federal court is very high.

We may need expanded rules to handle obfuscation. The following
javascript decodes into another obfuscation javasscript. I didn't have
time to persue it further (what the sender is counting on i suppose)...
