TARGET: Help with filtering experiment

[Gordon Riley <Gordon_Riley@MERCERSBURG.EDU>]

I am gearing up for the battle of the filters again, and I would like some =
help with a little experiment.  I need people who are using different =
filtering softwares to test the following:=20

In Hotmail, when you follow a link embedded in a mail message, Hotmail =
does not take you directly to that site, but keeps you in Hotmail and lets =
you view sites through some kind of redirect.  It seems to me that filters =
that work by denying access to previously identified no-go sites might be =
fooled by the Hotmail redirect. =20

We do not have any filters installed.  What I would like would be for =
people with different filtering products (who have Hotmail accounts or are =
willing to sign up for one) to let me forward them some of the spam that I =
get in Hotmail that advertises porn sites and test to see if the filters =
are able to block those sites from being accessed.  Additionally, anyone =
who has an account with another company that uses this kind of redirect =
(other than Hotmail) to test if their redirects can fool filters in this =
way.
