Wouldn't you be better off using a URI test rather than RAWBODY?

Although I'll warn you that such a rule is also likely to fire off on a lot of nonspam mail, as this is common in a LOT of URLs using scripting, the rule you desire would be something like this:

rawbody FALSEPOSPRONE_URL_WITH_EQUALS /http\:\/\/{.1,100}=/
score FALSEPOSPRONE_URL_WITH_EQUALS 10.0

This will look for http:// with an = character within 100 chars. Not perfect as it will match stuff outside a URL that's just past it, but then again, a perfect one will also false pos like crazy.

For example, every bugzilla bug on the sadev list will hit it with things like this in them:

http://www.hughes-family.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=678

and the headers of every message to this list contains:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=spamassassin-talk

Which won't match, but is an example of just how common equals signs are in URLS.

I've just started using SpamAssassin.  I started because of one time of
spam that keeps eluding my Sendmail rules.

The spam usually contains only 2-3 lines.  The constand is a URL with an
"=" sign in it.  How and where could I build a rule to give this a
score of 10 or so?
