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?

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.
