You'd have to write a uri rule. There's no quick-and-dirty 'blacklist_url", but
writing URI rules isn't hard.

A simple intro to basic and intermediate rules can be found at:

Yes, technically speaking SA doesn't block anything, it tags
messages that look like spam.  Then it's up to some other program
to decide what to do with the message.

The most SA will ever do is tag your mail for you saying a URL was present.  
uri rules do this.  You can then filter based on the headers added by SA.

If you never want to ever see the mail, use rules at the MTA level to bin the 
mail or reject it.  Or write a clamav signature and classify the mail as a 
virus (overkill?).
