Chris, I did't think about email at all ;-) Maybe I'm wrong and the use of this redirector is mostly for email. I thought of it as a central tracker which gets launched when someone clicks a banner ad or similar in a web page. There can be several reasons why you can't put this on the source or target server, but need an "intermediary". It seems to me that the use for email is quite marginal because you can't track opening a message this way, you can only use it in the same way as for web pages. And that's what these spammers do, they try to disguise the real URL. But why? Users won't examine the URL before they click it and most spam processors should know how to get the target hostname.
