Thanks. That could be usuable in my URLRedirect plugin. A current
list of URL redirectors is the main thing missing from that plugin.
It would be even better it included info about wether a URL shortener
uses HTTP redirects (wich is what my plugin checks).
One other thing is that sometimes the links have already been cancelled
for abuse, and the redirection goes to a page saying that. Such pages
aren't going to be in any URIBL list, but obviously they are very
strong spam indicators. Ideally there would be a regex to match those
links on each redirection service.
Since my plugin adds redirect targets to the message metadata that check
could be done with a normal URL rule.
(It might be useful if the plugin flags redirections that redirects to
the same domain.)
