My point is whatever code/script the redir is running to generate tracking IDs in a URL can ALWAYS be run from a company's own server. Regardless of the method, the sender could always do it. Oh but you will argue that it isn't cost beneficial to do that for a smaller company. So your saying the cost of email marketing would rise. Hmm....and that would be bad why? :) --Chris
