Thanks for the heads up. The spam filter didn't realize what it was though? I've only got one piece of spam mail in my inbox in the last 4+ months...
I get one or two (mostly image spams) a day, but that includes both 1.5 and 4yo public accounts, both, especially the latter with it's usenet presence, have had plenty of exposure to spam harvesters. The older account had anywhere between 5 and 25 leaking through it's providers filters when I redirected it to gmail. I'm still finding old fora accounts tied to it that I want to bring back often enough to maintain its stay of execution.

Or possibly a legitmate website that doesn't know it's been hacked and under control by some script kiddies. :)

I guess everything is officially old, even the spammers are resorting to old tricks.

Or more likely has a cross-site scripting/unchecked redirect bug.
