SpamAssassin 4.0.3 appears to incorrectly promote a URL query
parameter value into a standalone URI hostname and then performs
URIDNSBL lookups against the generated domain.

Observed behavior:

Input message contains only the following URI:

https://substack.com/signup?r=to8ex

Debug output shows SpamAssassin correctly parsing the original URI:

Jun 20 17:04:48.788 dbg: uri: canonicalizing parsed uri:
https://substack.com/signup?r=to8ex
Jun 20 17:04:48.788 dbg: uri: cleaned uri: https://substack.com/signup?r=to8ex
Jun 20 17:04:48.788 dbg: uri: added host: substack.com domain: substack.com

Immediately afterward, SpamAssassin creates a second URI which does
not exist in the message:

Jun 20 17:04:48.821 dbg: uri: canonicalizing parsed uri: http://to8ex
Jun 20 17:04:48.822 dbg: uri: cleaned uri: http://to8ex
Jun 20 17:04:48.822 dbg: uri: cleaned uri: http://www.to8ex.com
Jun 20 17:04:48.822 dbg: uri: added host: www.to8ex.com domain: to8ex.com

SpamAssassin then performs URIDNSBL lookups against the generated domain:

Jun 20 17:04:48.836 dbg: uridnsbl: considering host=www.to8ex.com,
domain=to8ex.com

Expected behavior:

The query parameter value "to8ex" should remain data associated with the URI:

https://substack.com/signup?r=to8ex

No standalone hostname or domain should be generated from the parameter value.
