An added wish from me:

Does anyone have a list of URL shorteners actively used by spammers?

Thanks for the lists. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it but I'm 
going to see if I can find a way to use it.


If I have the time I'll check those list and add more URL shorteners to 
the example config for my URLRedirect plugin.


AFAICT my plugin works, but to be effective it do need a list of URL 
shorteners used by spammers, wich I haven't had the time to compile.


I've just updated that module, and it can now read lists of redirectors 
from flat files, and has eval tests for redirect recursion checks.


In case you (or anyone else) wants to experiment with fetching redirect 
locations from URL shorteners (so that normal URL and URIDNSBL rules can 
get at the real site), or score based on recursive redirects from URL 
shorteners, please download and test the plugin.


Note: the plugin only does "head" requests, and only to sites in it's 
redirector lists, so it does not have all the cons that actually 
fetching pages or sending request to the spamvertised web sites has.


It's available at
