That's actually not true.  Most often those domains are encoded in some 
way so that they do NOT show up as plain text.
Sometimes a URL will show up as http://123456789012345/ or it will be a 
URL to a redirector
at yahoo.  Just because it LOOKS like a link in the displayed email 
doesn't mean the raw source has it that way.
If you have a large list of domains that SA is missing I think you 
might want to enable some RBL checking.  I use cbl in my postfix 
configuration (it rejects mail from cbl listed IPs) and have not had 
any complaints.

Often links to image pages are links to unrelated sites.  For example, 
lots of fake spam links to the REAL ebay images.  Ebay, for some reason 
known only o them, does not block access to their images to outside 
websites (a trivial mod to httpd.conf).

If you turn off all rbls then you will need to have a lot of extremely 
good procmail code to take their place.  And I mean A *LOT*.

That's not a sandbox.  A sandbox is a way or running mail through your 
procmailrcs without actually being destructive.  It is a way of testing 
your recipes "in a sandbox" where they can hurt anything.
