 You probably want to adjust this a little bit.  There are a few things here
 that make me think you aren't getting quite what you expect.

 1.Remove that first vertical bar.  It serves no purpose.
right. i removed that right after i sent it to the ML ;)
 2.You probably do not want \b between the words.  This is a word-break
 zero length character.  You almost certainly don't want a zero-length
 character, you want a space or something like that.
yeah just didnt figure out how
 So the rule should probably look more like:

 body SOFTWARE_AD
 /(?:\bbezahlen.{0,50}runterladen|Windows\s+und\s+mit\s+Macintosh|\bOriginal
versionen\b.{0,100}\blegal\b)/i

that helps a lot.

For those that don't run SA 3.2.3, you could test this rule:

uri CST_URI_BLOGSPOTm,http://\w+\.blogspot\.com\b,
describe CST_URI_BLOGSPOT   blogspot.com throwaway URI
score CST_URI_BLOGSPOT  3.4

A few people disagree with this, as it will score against legitimate
email for some domains. I created it for our site as we do not receive
newsletters with blogspot links, so we hose the emails with 3.4 points,
which is enough to push them over the 5.0 threshold, as they score on
other rules too.

Be warned, beware, don't use this unless you're really sure you don't
want blogspot links in emails. Customers might become annoyed.

(Ours haven't, though, and it's been a month).

Cheers,
Mike

Blogspot is a spamhaven. I've been back and forth with their clueless 
abuse desk, and they've confirmed that basically if they shut down a 
blogspot site for spamming, there's nothing to prevent the spammer 
from creating the site again.


Oh, sure, it may say This website has been disabled  - until the 
spammer recreates the site.


Kind of like throwing someone in jail, but not locking the cell, and 
then going home for the night.


Yes, I've got blogspot spams I've reported 2+ years ago.

Oldest one is 07/26/2005: http://1stpromotion.youknowtherest.com

thanks Mike, does that match bloglinks like myblog.blogspot.com/myentryxy  ?
if not it might be fine for around 1.0 points imo. i have sare_oem on 3.0 
becouse our entire company runs linux, so we don't talk about windows 
software anyway :P
i'd prefer a working uribl though :(

Apparently, yes :) I have not seen any come through since I employed the
rule. I am sure you'd be able to modify the RegExp if required, making
it match, say up to 12 characters (of anything) past the / after .com

I'm pretty sure you wont need to do that. Employ it and score it at 0.01
to test it :)

HEH, I've just gone thru and rescored a pile of URIBL stuff.. this
combined with our recent addition of pyzor has started to score spam
hard.

Mike
