E-mail Marketing Sites

Dear Websense,

Is it possible to create a catagory for e-mail marketing sites like mailchimp, which client companies use to send marketing e-mails to people on their lists.  Note: They are not spammers - people have to consent to receive these e-mails, so companies use them to send out marketing campaigns on their behalf.

The problem is that they also serve content, such as newletters, brochures, or even redirects back to the main company website.  They are listed under the catagory of Hosted Business Applications, which we block.  The URL's they put on e-mails are nearly always dynamic, and sometimes bare no relation to the client company's URL.  Even when they do, the dynamic nature of the URL means that a released one today, will be blocked tomorrow.

I have looked at releasing by regular expression release (keyword release does not work), but Websense advises that a large number of expressions can affect the performance of the appliances.  Thus I was thinking of a seperate catagory called e-mail marketing where they can be listed to make releasing easier.  Hosted Business applications is too broad.
