I had delisted them until I saw this post. I like Christians train of thought. I know he has contacted them. Based on what they do, I'll either leave it listed or remove.

Just spotted this one, on both black.uribl.com and ab.surbl.org - it's a very widely used French-language URL-shortening service.
I'd say this is a definite FP.
But then again, if spam email uses minilien.com for masquerading evil redirects, then it's the site owner's problem. There is an explicit coverage on this topic on the SURBL.org site.
Redirection services such as tinyurl.com and (my own) memurl.com looks up if the destination hosts are blocklisted, and so should minilien.com
If we regard this one as a false positive, then it's free access for spammail that uses the minilien service.
I suggest we notify the site owner and let him act accordingly.
