Zu guter Letzt hier noch die Nachricht von SURBL. Ebenfalls kein Vergleich zur Bastard-E-Mail.

This is a plain text description of the Abuse Reporting Feedback Report (RFC-5965) attached below. Due to privacy or legal reasons, some of the information is redacted pursuant to RFC-5965 Section 8.5.

Hello Redirection Site Operator,

Our systems have detected the following shortened URL in unsolicited messages which may be spam, phishing or malware.

We appreciate your work to handle abuse and request you investigate and take appropriate action regarding this abused shortener as soon as practicable:

URL: http://gentleurl dot net/[...]
IP: 46.163.115.119
Time: 2011-12-30T21:58:21+00:00

Additionally, please find some best practice suggestions at

http://www.surbl.org/redirection-sites

which includes:

* Check links against URI Blacklists,

* Recheck periodically including, if possible, when redirecting,

* Deny link creation from malicious IP addresses,

* Check the resolved IP addresses of the original url,

* Disallow redirection to other redirectors,

* Register an abuse contact role account at abuse.net,

* Return an http status code of 410 when an abused redirector is removed.

In our efforts to make your abuse handling easier, this message is RFC-5965 compliant. The Abuse Reporting Feedback Report was specifically created to allow automated processing of abuse reports.

Thank you for your time and efforts to reduce abuse,

SURBL

Die E-Mail enthält sogar gute Tipps. Tipps #1 bis #4 sind schon seit Jahren bei unseren URL-Kürzern umgesetzt. Andernfalls würden wir vermutlich täglich Beschwerde-Mails vom Provider und all den anderen bekommen. Derzeit sind das drei bis vier Benachrichtigungen im Monat. Tipp #5 beherzigen wir ebenfalls. Allerdings sprießen URL-Kürzer wie Pilze aus dem Boden. Da ist es schwer mitzuhalten. Die letzten beiden Tipps haben wir kürzlich umgesetzt.
