The external links plugin for WordPress lets you process outgoing links differently from internal links.

Under Settings / External Links, you can configure the plugin to:

• Process all outgoing links, rather than only those within your entries' content.
• Add an external link icon to outgoing links. You can use a class="no_icon" attribute on links to override this.
• Open outgoing links in new windows. Note that this can damage your visitor's trust towards your site in that they can think your site used a pop-under.
• Add rel=nofollow to the links. You can use a rel="nofollow" attribute on links to override this.
