      Description

       

      All trackable links in bulk mail set off SpamAssassin rule looking for Malware. Any link that contains wp-content is flagged with -1.9 points, -5 total is considered spam . It seems likely that with time SpamAssassin could also start cracking down on links with sites/all/modules within them. 

      It would be worthwhile to rebuild this functionality across all the CMSs. 

      SpamAssassin Rule URI_WP_HACKED_2 is this:

      ##
      Unknown macro: { URI_WP_HACKED_2 meta URI_WP_HACKED_2 (_PS_TEST_LOC_WP && !URI_WP_HACKED) && !TO_EQ_FROM && !_THREADED describe URI_WP_HACKED_2 URI for compromised WordPress site, possible malware #score URI_WP_HACKED_2 2.000 # limit tflags URI_WP_HACKED_2 publish ##}
      URI_WP_HACKED_2

      uri __PS_TEST_LOC_WP m;/(?:wp-content/plugins|wp-content/themes|wp-includes|modules/mod_wdbanners|includes/|google_recommends|mt-static|data/module)/.
      Unknown macro: {1,64}
      (?!\.gif|\.jpg|\.png|\.bmp|\.ico|\.pdf).
      Unknown macro: {4}
      $;i
