http://www.surbl.org/redirection-sites
They include:
* 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.
