Default Creating spam rule for hyperlink domain

Is there a way to create a rule to identify spam mail by a domain name in the
spam message body?

I've noticed that senders of spam seem to have random email addresses, but
the sites that they promote tend not to change. However I am unable to create
a rule that blocks part or all of the domain name that they hyperlink. I can
however link based on the text that they overlay the link with, but since
that changes all the time rules don't help.

I've noticed that spam gets converted to plain text in the junkmail folder,
but I have not been able to flag them for deletion based on all or part of
the domain that the spammers are actually using for orders.

Any ideas appreciated.

Junk mail runs before rules, so if they are getting into junk, a rule won't
help.
