Yes, we are aware of it and working to shut it down. It is not easy at all due to how the system works (as is the case with many redirector URLs).
Feel free to block the URL completely. It is only serving ads for AOL partners really. Should not be a big problem if you can block URLs in your antispam SW.

Hi All,
Just found an AOL redirector being abused in a spam:
http://www.aol.com/ams/clickThruRedirect.adp?1=
073757372,2147618210x2147531923,http://www.freeyouraccounts.com/stressfree/=
Not sure if it’s included in the SURBL/SpamCopURI redirector list yet or not – is this published anywhere?
Regards,
