TinyURL uses SURBLs to deny services to spammers: http://www.surbl.org/redirect.html but adultfriendfinder is not blacklisted on SURBLs since it arguably may have some legitimate uses. If adultfriendfinder is being used in spam, the place to report the abuse is probably adultfriendfinder. Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.surbl.org/
