Request to add Marketo email tracking domains #6475

Description

@pgl

Request to add rule to block Marketo tracking domains.

These domains are created for each customer, hidden behind CNAMEs from the customer domains.

Searching on https://dnpedia.com/tlds/search.php shows that there are currently over 25,000 of them.

The format is in mkto-<something>.com (usually is letters followed by numbers).

Details and example here: https://docs.marketo.com/display/public/DOCS/Configure+Protocols+for+Marketo

  1. Add CNAME for Email Tracking Links
    Add the email CNAME marketing sent you, so that [YourEmailCNAME] points to [MktoTrackingLink], the default tracking link that Marketo assigned, in the format:
    [YourEmailCNAME].[YourDomain].com IN CNAME [MktoTrackingLink]
    For example:
    pages.abc.com IN CNAME mkto-a0244.com

It's been suggested to avoid a regex filter rule as they're expensive, and stick with something like:

||mkto-*.com^$third-party

This covers all the entries and as far as I know will not match any false positives.
