Some time ago Martin posted his rules for blocking yahoo link spam, and
it's been working relatively well for my system. However, I'm now noticing
a number of FPs that are "From" bellsouth.net addresses but pass through
yahoo servers. They have DKIM and DomainKey signatures from bellsouth, yet
otherwise appear to have no association with bellsouth.net.

Is it just possible that bellsouth is using yahoo's servers? If so, could
there be other "affiliates" that use yahoo that could also cause FPs?

What would you suggest fixing the FPs in terms of this rule? Just add
bellsouth.net to the "From" header check?

Are people still seeing yahoo link spam, and are you using this rule to
block them?

I'm still seeing a bit of spam with only a link in the body with v3.3.2
that I can't block. I'd appreciate any input someone might have to help
with this until I can upgrade to a 3.4 snapshot.

Thanks,
Alex
