I can't thank Bob enough for pointing me to the other spam list regarding
blocks and legal info.  Info can be found here:

Anywho, I'm reading the archives so I don't look foolish asking questions,
and I see this latest post:

Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
I just got a paypal phish from optonline netspace.

Worryingly, the phishers are giving phish URLs with paypal descrption
fields. I wonder how many people are suckered in - or have outhouse go
and open it for them automagically.

I assume 203.232.101.125 is yet another trojaned box.

And that got me thinking. I know SA has a rule for weird ports, but this is
different. The important part is this:
http://203.232.101.125:3344

This smells of a trojaned box for spamming. I'm thinking of writing a rule
that looks for http links with IP addresses and a port number. I'm thinking
the FP rate would be low. 

It is tough to remember everything SA looks for. Does 2.60 have something
like this? Comments?

rawbody MY_TROJANED_HOST
/http:\/\/\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\:\d{2,4}\//
describe MY_TROJANED_HOST Possible Trojaned box used for spam hosting
score MY_TROJANED_HOST 0.01 # For testing
