Good afternoon, administrator, Thanks for providing the littleurl service - the links you provide are a lot easier to type. I'd like to offer one free resource to you in trying to keep your system from being abused by spammers. I maintain a blacklist of spam domains at http://www.stearns.org/sa-blacklist/ ; the specific file you'll probably want is http://www.stearns.org/sa-blacklist/sa-blacklist.current.domain s . This is a list of ~22,700 spammer domains. Would you consider checking the domains people submit for littleurl against that list as part of the littleurl creation process, and if found, perhaps not provide a littleurl for it? If you'd rather not check against a file that large or you want to do this over dns, you can also place a lookup for that domain against submitted.domain.ws.surbl.org

• if you get back an "A" record for it, it's in the

above list. More details at http://www.surbl.org . Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Cheers,

• Bill
