I'm not familiar with it. Do you have some example uses in spam or ham?
Just sent you a spample offlist.
OK Got it, and also searched old messages. It looks like Alex Broens mentioned this domain in January also. Looks like a redirector mostly used for MLM. Here are some quotes from their site:

URL security is the make-or-break hinge of your affiliate marketing promotions. Would you go out to dinner without locking the front door of your house? Don't leave your affiliate advertising vulnerable to hackers!

That said, I'd be disinclined to list unless it appeared mostly in spams. (I know some people consider most MLM to be spam, and I do also, but somewhat contrary to my own expectation, some MLMers actually seem to operate ethically at least when it comes to spam.)
linkshield .com is a 2002 registration with no RBL or SBL but 21 NANAS, apparently affiliate abuse. Newest in NANAS is about a month ago.
