Any string that ends and begins with an "_" will be parsed as a variable. It was driving me nuts trying to figure out why the url I was putting in the report linking our users to customized filtering instructions based on our MUA was not working in any flagged mail. Then I noticed the url was missing a "_blah_" string.
Have you considered escaping the underscore? Although it's not required to escape an underscore in a URI by RFC standards, there's no reason you can't encode them as %2D.
Thus:
http://www.example.com/my_file_name.htm
becomes
http://www.example.com/my%2Dfile%2Dname.htmand should still work and be unmunged by SA in this setup. It's an ugly-ish workaround, but should work.
I think this is a bug, and that SpamAss should only parse the actual list of reserved words as variables, or at least allow us to escape the "_" with a "\".
Based on the code, it would probably be easier for them to allow you to "escape" the _ by doing a double or tripple underscore rather than a backslash.. But I can't see anywhere that it currently does that.
However, it would be a pretty gross assumption to assume that SA would _only_ parse the posted list of words and not parse all things surrounded by underscores. Generaly programs start off with a categorical behavior, not a long list of specific cases. It's generally easier and cleaner to code this way.
