[Mimedefang] Big spam

[WBrown at e1b.org]

Interesting trick.  That format is the URL Yahoo generates for it's search 
results.  They use it to track click throughs.

This one will go to a Yahoo server that will then redirect youto the 
scammer's site.

Spam isn't speech, just like a note wrapped around
a brick thrown through a window isn't publication.
