Both of these assume I know every person who needs to e-mail me, and everything they will send me. Theo, you're active in enough open source projects to know better.

There is no non-code-altering way of modifying the behavior (not parsing
the domains out or having URIDNSBL not use parsed domains).

Well then we need to alter the code. While bareword domain matching might make sense, it doesn't make sense for /a/valid/system/path/ file.pl for "file.pl" to be checked. Zero hits on spam corpus.

Frankly, spam doesn't work unless people can just click it. So we really only need to look for things that stupid Windows programs will try to interpret for the user. The file.pl example above will never get a user to the file.pl spam site.
