ibrsoft.com-munged - not listed yet (as far as I can tell), but
part of the xml-soft.com-munged group of software pirates (check for them
and their name servers and the domain for the contacts - qdice.com-munged).
Unfortunately, their address and telephone appear valid, though incomplete.
Forward to piracy(a)microsoft.com. (and to all the cnet people also).

See the following link. By using "I'm Feeling Lucky", a spammer just
has to rank at the top of google's searches for *any* search, meaningful
or not.

Can this be right? To me it looks like it matches things like
&btnI=
google&btnI=
googlegoogle&btnI=
googlegooglegoogle&btnI=
Just a missing . maybe?

John can I get your permission to add this to the SARE URI rules?

By the way, my only suggestion to combat this is to have the surbl
client send an http request to google, to see what redirect site is
returned, and then check *that* site in SURBL or in the other redirects.
If the use of this technique picks up, google is going to have that
additional burden.
Who really uses the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button anyway?

What are you talking about ? `rxwhois -a gambia.com` says:
| gambia.com not found at .rfc-ignorant.org or .multi.surbl.org
| whois -h whois.abuse.netgambia.com
| postmaster(a)gambia.com (default, no info)
And there's no old RFCI entry for gambia.com (except from the
bad day when TLD .com had no working whois server). Bye, Frank

The domains:
nate.com-munged
gambia.com-munged (and actual ICANN listed registrar)
sktelecom.com-munged
KPPN.COM-munged
and KPPINC.COM-munged
all seem to be part of a group of spam support services run from
Korea. The true owner is hidden behind a set of legal shells. There do
not appear to be an legitimate customers (but for Jeff C.), but I have
not done a thorough enough investigation to say they for sure. I can
say they have been "seen" before and have listings against them.

P.S. The rfci whois listing for gambia.com-munged is one of my favorites,
because it is the only time I have seem that particular violation.
