           Summary: Please add support for handling URIs with redirects in
                    URIDNSBL.pm
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
          Platform: All
               URL: http://www.surbl.org/
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: spamassassin
        AssignedTo: spamassassin-dev@incubator.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jeffc@surbl.org


Please add support for the handling of redirect sites like http://drs.yahoo.com/
or possibly even http://tinyurl.com/ in message body URIs processed by
URIDNSBL.pm .  Single levels of the former type are probably just a pattern
match away, but the latter would probably require hitting the redirector's web
site to see where it eventually leads to.  Multiple levels of redirection would
also be tricky and/or expensive.

  http://drs.yahoo.com/covey/parr/*http://spammer.address/

Should resolve into spammer.address for example.

The big picture solution is that sites offering redirects *should* prevent
access to their services by spammers and abusers.  Since that probably won't
happen, we need to be able to deal with redirects that appear in URIs.
