Hmmm... I just re-installed SpamCopURI 0.25. Still the same deal. Also tried
upgrading Net::DNS, but still no hits on the email containing this bad URL.

I am running an old perl... 5.6.0. Perhaps is it critical to be running
5.8.2?

The older SpamCopURIs seemed to work quite well for me... 0.14 I think was
doing nicely with SA 2.6.3. Now I've borked up the whole thing (a LOT more
spam is getting through without SpamCopURI working).

I've had on my project list for a LONG time to completely rebuild our spam
scanner, but I just don't have the time right now... so if anyone has any
suggestions on things to get this box working more or less intact, I'm all
ears. 

thanks!

Have you tried spamassassin -D < some_message and spamassassin
--lint?
