[Bug 5467] New: URI_NOVOWEL triggering on URI instead of hostname

[bu...@bugzilla.spamassassin.org]

http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5467

           Summary: URI_NOVOWEL triggering on URI instead of hostname
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.2.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Rules
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jhaar@trimble.co.nz


We have a Webapp that generates emails and I noticed SA-3.2.0 was scoring it
rather highly. I've been seeing what we can change to make SA happier, but found
what I think is a bug.

We generate a multipart (i.e. text and html versions) mail message containing
links. One of them is hitting URI_NOVOWEL for no good reason. The text version
is wrapped (as it's so long) as follows:

https://xxxxx.trimble.yyy/ascripthere.php?owner=something
   d.com&mail=amFz8a5cd&serial=12E1&id=34320c962bf
   bd6dd

"spamassassin -D" says it matches URI_NOVOWEL against the servername name
"d.com" - which obviously is incorrect.

[27806] dbg: rules: ran uri rule URI_NOVOWEL ======> got hit:
"http://d.com&mail=amFz8a5cd"


I'd guess the code that pulls URLs out of the email has got something wrong?

Thanks

Jason

It appears that the code is working as intended.  It looks for anything that
looks like a domain in any part of the URI and treats it as if it were a URI all
by itself.  This is how we find blacklisted domains (ab)using open redirectors.

So it's see "something.something" and that triggered it.

Nasty - I agree - how can that be fixed without breaking matching open proxies.

Oh well, we'll just have to live with it (more specifically other SA sites who
receive these emails will have to live with them)


Thanks - I'll mark WONTFIX

To simplify the testing process could you please attach an example email that
demonstrates the problem? Just remove all the extra stuff from your actual email
and change the domains to something like example.com and so on to obfuscate any
private information, verify with SpamAssassin -D that the problem still occurs,
then use the Create a New Attachment link in Bugzilla to upload it.
