FYI: "Spamhaus created a new "URL shortener/redirector" zone in the

Will Spamassassin be adding support for this new DBL
shortener/redirector response code?:
127.0.1.3 spammed redirector domain
For details, see:

OK, so this is meant to be used as a URIBL. I don't see this as
anything special because there is no way to query the pathname portion
of a URI which would allow more fine-grained detection of spammy URI's
even on a non-evil shortening service.
Is this new DBL return code meant to be a lower score than ordinary
URIBL's that often choose to list evil shortener domains? My point is
this is no different than an ordinary URIBL listing.
