... which is sad, because we have some people who do have legitimate and relevant-to-linux contents in those URLs, but this spam trouble using geociries URLs is getting rather excessive.
Our rejection pattern matches: ". geocities . com /" (case insensitive, and minus spaces) so if you need to point an URL there, do so with extra spaces.
No idea if spammers will adapt by adding spaces, and entice people to fix URLs... If that day happens, then perhaps the only way to get email back into usabe form is to classify spamming and spamming support (in USA and China, very least) to be equally bad thing, as terrorism and have equally severe punishment...
