Some spammers apparently try their luck with ">" in pseudo-URLs
like http://what>ever.spammer.example (seen in an article on
the SpamCop list). It's a bit beyond me how any decent MUA can
accept this as link. In that example what>ever.spammer.example
has an IP, but it's of course no valid host name.
Apparently a hard case of "fix your MUA", I've no better idea.
Normally I hate this line of arguments when it's used against
my good old "Mozilla 3". Of course my monster doesn't accept
this crap as host name, it stops at http://what as it should.
