Damm mortage and software spam

www.surbl.org (and a associated spamcop_uri plugin for SpamAssassin
2.6x) are not included in the rulesemporium stuff.

It's a RBL style check, but it looks at URI's within the message body,
rather than the traditions RBL's which only look at the ip-addresses the
email is coming from( ie the message header).

This is a really good technique of trapping the single graphic and link.
