I think we have a misunderstanding about the meaning of the English word
"corrupt". I do not mean "corrupt" like a corrupt evil person like a spammer.
The word also is used with a different meaning.

When data is lost or changed randomly between when it is sent and when it is
received, or between when it was written and when it is read back again, the
data or the file or the message is said to be "corrupted".

Clearly the person who wrote this email typed the entire email address in one
string. Something inserted spaces and newlines in the middle of the
bankofamerica.com email address. Whatever happened is called "data corruption".

The reason famerica.com was used in the URIRBL testing is that spammers include
domain names in plain text so SpamAssassin looks for them. If a valid host name
with a TLD such .com at the end appears in plain text between delimiter
characters such as '>' or space or newline or other special characters,
SpamAssassin will notice it and test it in the URIRBL rules, just like in this
case.
