Replying to my own mail, Zdnet finally seems to have taken care of its redirector. The link "http://chkpt.zdnet.com/chkpt/howbad/rdx56.info/p/yo" that appeared in the spam is now not being redirected it shows a message
"Forbidden to relay request through this server"
finally they seem to have taken care of this.

Guys
Seems Zdnet doesn't bothers about its open redirectors as yet. This is a spam that I trapped just 5 mins back. Spammers are enjoying using these openredirectors.
Can any one send a reminder to Zdnet of this redirector.
The Spam .......

I have to repeat, send copies of your spam to the editors
They are now applying an proprietary spam filter to the redirector.
Try http://chkpt.zdnet.com/chkpt/howbad/www.google.com/
or for the more daring
Try http://chkpt.zdnet.com/chkpt/howbad/www.wiurrc.mfdi.beeiturmoi.com/ (drug spam - no porn - no pictures -- but "kiddie porn" at Yahoo! works also)
and watch it work.
They have stated that they "are providing a service". Until we all trust that their spam filtering is as good as any that anyone of us might do, they are basically an open relay and should be treated as such!
Jeff, please reconsider and list them until it is REALLY fixed.
As far as I can tell, they only block the sites which they have received specific complaints about. This policy SUCKS.
