Spamcop gets misled by google redirects
For a while I've been seeing output like this from the spamcop parser:Resolving link obfuscationThere is an obvious error in the parsing, and this has been going on for a while. With a browser I do get redirected to http://strong.kindatodad.com as expected. The domain registration kindatodad.com was updated today (always a bad sign) but it does not seem to be working at the moment.
