In OL = XP you can create a rule that checks for the sender´s domain and
run a script.

You can then use the Instr function and search in the body e.g. for www.*.*,
http:/*, file:/*, https:/*.

If the message contains one of the searched strings use the Move function
for moving it into another folder.

I want to create a spoof filter that

If a message comes from the "paypal.com" domain
*Except if from "spoof"
And the message contains hyperlinks that do not lead to sites in the
"paypal.com" domain

Then forward the message as an attachment to "
*And move it to the "Spoofs" folder.

How would/should I go about doing this?

Spoof filter
 

OK, so that'd search within the HTML itself for the true URL of the
hyperlink? How exactly would I code this?

instr find http://* NOT http://www.paypal.com?

And then what? My coding experience is limited to a bit of C++ console
programming.

You need the functions InStr and Mid. In HTML messages you can search for
the a href tag with InStr. From that position search the next /a tag.
Within that substring determine what exactly the url is and if it´s
paypal.com (or whatever) or not.

Please have a look into the Object Browser (F2). Switch from All Libraries
to Outlook, and select MailItem in the left pane. In the right pane you can
now see all the MailItem´s methods, properties etc. Select the Move function
and press F1. That leads you to the VBA help topic with a sample.

(The same works for the Forward function, of course).
