One way to deal with this is to modify the area that the rules
search. Replace the "rawbody" with "uri" and they will only hit
against references in URLs, not just floating random text.
Most of the spammer use of those domains are inside URLs to
direct victims to spamvertizement sites, so this -should- not
reduce the effectivenss of the rules in the good fight. ;)
Of course, the better way would be to set up an effective whitelist
for this list (that's what I did some time ago).
