ob1db Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Ongoing issue of spammers burrying 20-50 fake links in html (that do not show when displayed, only in source) resulting in the engine 'giving up" before finding the real ones. These nearly ALWAYS are medical and have a link for the product and usually one for removal. I find the "correct link" by searching from the END of the spam for "href", it is usually the last or the next to last. the first one is trickier, usually will be "pills" or "drugs" In this example the first link is: <a href=3D"http://ihi6674drugs.biz/b94"> (or is it "hi6674drugs.biz/b94"??> and the second is : <a href=3Dhttp://unite.prog3205pillys.biz/unsubscribe.ddd=>here.</a> Full spam in .spam, please reply in spamcop! I snipped off 2 LONG paragraphs of gibberish words in case it was a tracking code. David PS: will also post on the forum ONLY FOR JT, since he no longer hangs out here... PPS: ULTRA WEIRDNESS! I went to preview to get a munged spam to post. When I went BACK to the reproting page, all the lnks (the valid ones) were parsed, including two (identical to the other one) that I missed!!

Farelf Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 When I went BACK to the reproting page, all the lnks (the valid ones) were parsed, ... Wow, you're right, well spotted! I just checked my last of that type and found the same. Ellen said they were working on it, must be still a touch "experimental". Even now, this will save a lot of work for those frustrated by the "too many links" and doing their own reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
