Links not allowed in Yahoo originated spam?

The most perculiar the last few times I've submitted spam from a yahoo account, the system will NOT detect ANY links that are visible in the message, what's up with that?

The SC parser and system have three priorities; in order

  • Identifying the source IP of the spam to maintain their Block List
  • Identify an appropriate "abuse" address to sent a spam Report to assist the admin controlling spam from their IP addresses
  • Identifying spamvertised links in the body of the reported spam.
If you look at the number of spam reported this week, https://www.spamcop.net/spamgraph.shtml?spammonth you will see there have been an order of magnitude increase in spam to process. As a result I would guess that there was not processing time for the third priority.

It's just yahoo originating email, any email message for the past few weeks that comes from a yahoo server is not link parsing. Does not matter whether I use the "outlook/eudora workaround form" or the "all in one", links are not parsing.

Sorry I did not understand. Sounds like Yahoo has corrupted their format in yet another way. a Tracking URL as an example would help.

when I do a whois on the domain for the link in the email I see that the domain, hellevad.faith is available from godaddy for $9.99.

So I'm guessing there is not a valid address to send an email to.

That one is a bad example, NOW, in regards to parsing lookup.

Domain was valid when the messages was submitted.

Whether or not the link is valid, parser ought to be detecting the link, then attempting to resolve it, with the report stating it's invalid if it don't get a valid IP from the lookup.

It's not doing that.
