5 Failing to reject urls in public blacklists - ID: 1864441
Last Update: Comment added ( rhogg )

Win2000
SpamPal v1.594
URLBody v0.06

URLBody does not appear to be rejecting email with urls that are in the
blacklists. I have zen.spamhaus.org selected in the public blacklists which
reports three listings in SBL and one in PBL for the ip address in the
email. For example an email has the following http://www.theasdpoee.com
embeded in the text. Whois identifies this as 220.113.33.46 which is China
and China as a country is also blacklisted.

I have spent some time looking into this problem. Firstly, the web address
often contained in the spam emails does not resolve to a IP address but the
domain name is valid and is usually registered with ns-sky33.com. This
chinese domain name server is known about but has changed it's IP address
or is faking it somehow. I don't know how hard this would be to do or
whether it would be too slow but how about if an URL does not resolve to an
address then try a whois lookup. This still does give the IP address
because it is setup by a nasty but it does give the name server and this
could be looked up and blocked.

Yet others are handled correctly for example:

As you can see the hostname is looked up but it should be PASS failed
because that ip is returned on SBL etc.
