Hello,

Not sure if this was an issue listed somewhere else, but I searched through and couldn't seem to spot anything related.

Anyhow, I have a need to relay server information on my website that implements SpamSpan obfuscating. When I do so, SpamSpan turns these server names into linked mailto emails because it seems to think they are emails. (They are in the form of <server_name>@<domain_name>). Is there an option somewhere or code that I can look at that could possibly fix this?

If not, perhaps an option is needed that makes it so SpamSpan only looks at explicitly defined mailto links, and doesn't assume everything that looks like an email is a one.

Thanks,
Emily

I also have this same problem. CBS 3 in Philly used the "@" symbol in their URLs and so spamspan breaks the link.

Same problem here as well. In my case, it is a Telnet link that is breaking whenever a username is specified.

Example: <a href="telnet://UserName@telnet.server.com:23">Telnet Link</a>

OK - this is probably not the most efficient way to do this, but could work...

you could create a custom filter to apply to your text to remove the links that spamspan places on the telnet text -- just have to apply the filter after the spamspan filter

I had to create one to change the url's that were coming in via a rss feed -- worked like a charm...
