Thanks for your response - that's very interesting!  We're running
Spamassassin 3.0 on FreeBSD 4.9, using spamd/spamc called via procmail.  I
do have a bunch of custom rulesets, mostly pulled from the SARE site:
70_sare_uri.cf, 99_sare_fraud_post25x.cf, evilnumbers.cf, tripwire.cf, and
weeds_2.cf.  I also have a bunch of my own rules that I've added here and
there to catch things that slip through.  (For example I added one like "uri
SPAMMER_URLS04_I /\bwneiis-planet\.info/i" after the message in question got
through.)

I'd say 99% of the time the URI RBL lookups are working great.  I've only
found one other spam so far where this same thing happened, and that was
also a .info domain.

Thanks for your help!

Sandy S.
