I'm using a modified version of that but it has several serious bugs. I
might be willing to pay someone to fix it. It's pretty good but I've
noticed that often spam breaks the URL over 2 lines and it doesn't
process it correctly. I was just wondering what it would take to do the
same thing, if possible, within exim rules. It might not be possible but
people here are often very clever.
