A balance of each? catching http://anything or www.old-schooltld and validating
that there is no starting part ending the previous line (in case of improper
line jump) would be nice.
I hate spam as much as you guys but false positives are also very annoying.

fwiw, this doesn't really have anything to do with uridnsbl. it's all about the
uri text parser looking for raw domains. uridnsbl would take that information
and query for it, but it's not involved in actual parsing.

does 'Cin�ma.ca' work as a link in any mail user-agent?

The issue is spam that says "type gotofoo.com in your browser" ... we're trying
to catch that.
What this comes down to is:
- do we limit ourselves to www.* strings?
- do we limit ourselves to old-school TLDs? (.com, .net, etc.)
- do we limit ourselves to obvious URLs only (https?://)
- do we not bother and have people complain that we don't catch this type of thing?

a few other FPs:
"QuébecRencontres.com" matches becrencontres.com
a weird one:
"He told me.well.in fact, he didn't say much" matches well.in (why is the html
code containing me...well... but the dots vanished from the txt version? a bug
in hotmail composer I suppose).
For the latest case what about validating www. when there's no http:// ? I don't
think MUAs make links of non http nor www. uris.

I let you guys specifiy the appropriate component to report the bug on
(spamassassin?). About Cin�ma.ca being a link in MUAs, not in Thunderbird.
Outlook makes a link if it is prefixed by http[s]. While I'm at it (could be
another bug or feature request), urls of the form http://www.startof
adomain.com
shouldn't match adomain.com as it does now. It's causing quite a few FP with
multi.uribl.com.
