Hi fellow assassins...

I recently received an FDIC phish scam mail (tagged as spam by SA
which is good) with this embedded url:

<a href=3D"http://www.fdic.gov=01
(inserting this into the middle of the url so the list malware
scanner doesn't reject it)
@211.191.98.216:3180/index.htm">htt=
p://www.fdic.gov/idverify/cgi-bin/index.htm</a>

This seems like it could be a pattern worth tagging for many points.
Almost no legitimate mail will include a url with a misleading
destination like this, right? So what kind of rule will catch this?
Here's my first attempt:

body PHISHERMEN /http:\/\/(\w*?\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,10}?[^/\s]*?@/
score PHISHERMEN 5.0

I don't know if I wrote it right; I'm not a regex genius. Here's
what I'm trying to do:

http://

non-greedily followed by any number of alphanumeric characters

followed by .

the previous two expressions should repeat at least once

non-greedily followed by between two and ten alpha characters (the
faked top level domain)

followed by any characters other than spaces or /

followed by @



So, can you regex and Spamassassin geniuses provide feedback on my
rule? Will it work to catch these phishermen? Will it avoid tagging
legitimate url's?

Thanks
