Yahoo redirection

Hi,

I've been getting some spam from a source that tries to obfuscate their own 
URL by using some kind of Yahoo redirection URL:

<A
href="http://rds.yahoo.com/*-http://www1fb33f89.sunwed.biz/PH009/?affiliate_id=233488&campaign_id=21014">

It might be worth setting up a rule for if this keeps showing up..

See http://www.exit0.us/index.php/ToAoMsRedirectRules for a list of 
redirection catching rules.

Being on the inside, all I can say is that it's very screwed up.
