Write a regex and put it in production ;-)

Are you using spamhaus and surbl for conten checking?

I've never touched the rbl-service.txt file, but this is what it has:

zen.spamhaus.org=>1
safe.dnsbl.sorbs.net=>1
dnsbl.njabl.org=>1
bogons.cymru.com=>1
ix.dnsbl.manitu.net=>1
cblplus.anti-spam.org.cn=>1
bl.emailbasura.org=>1
spamlist.or.kr=>1
bl.spamcop.net=>2
bhnc.njabl.org=>2
drone.abuse.ch=>2
#httpbl.abuse.ch=>2
psbl.surriel.com=>2
virbl.dnsbl.bit.nl=>2
db.wpbl.info=>3
l2.apews.org=>3
#blackholes.five-ten-sg.com=>7
dnsbl-1.uceprotect.net=>3
dnsbl-2.uceprotect.net=>3
#hostkarma.junkemailfilter.com=>7
dnsbl-3.uceprotect.net=>7

In the URIBL list, I have:

multi.surbl.org|black.uribl.com|rhsbl.ahbl.org

Hi All: I'm getting deluged with spam with an embedded URL like:

pill*.ru

where the * could be any number of random characters.

I've been forwarding them to ASSP's "report-spam" address, but they continue to 
come in.

What is the best way to block this when there's specific text in the message 
that can be found with a regex?
