It took some training for me before my SpamBayes started to recognize
those reliably, but it seems that my old hack to tokenize URL's IPs
helps:

Spambayes spam score 0.998 for message "Re: your VtAGRiA"
Spambayes clues: 0.000 *H*, 0.997 *S*
[. . .]
0.845 url-ip:222.52.1.11/32
0.845 url-ip:222.52.1/24
0.845 url-ip:222.52/16
[. . .]
0.976 url-ip:222/8

Excellent arguments about why doing that is a bad idea have been
made, but it seems to work for me.

Matt
