Interestingly, just by coincidence, I did in fact get one of these "path" or "subsite" type of e-mails spams from a Geocities site. I've e-mailed Geocities's abuse dept with the raw contents of the e-mail and a message about it being spam. I'll report back to see how quickly they take care of this one. (I expect GeoCities to do better than some of these other smaller and more marginal players would... so this is not a very typical test).

Again, this is a very anecdotal test... and a bit off-topic for SURBL... except that much of the whitelisting (which, BTW, I agree with) that we are currently doing with SURBL WILL cause more of this type of spam to "slip through".
Sure, but who is more likely to shut off this type of site: Yahoo or China Telecom? I know which one I would bet on. ;-)
