I guess this is a 'framer' rather than a redirector. A url that points to a frameset that loads an external page specified in the query url in one of the frames. For all practical purposes it's similar to a redirector, but with complications. The http response code from a GET request using the url will not indidate that it's a redirector. For a user loading the page in a browser, the adress of the spamvertized website will not be visible in the location bar. For some spammers, this would probably be prefered over traditional redirectors. Patrik
