(??) The same problem (redirect to surveyfinddomain.com) happens with wolfmountaingroup.com And all of the (good ones and the spammy we are redirected to) are hosted in the same ip: 69.6.27.100, owned by the spam company OptInRealBig.com [1]. Seems that Jeffrey lost access to wolfmountaingroup.com last June (the current registration is from 2011/06/20) and the spammifying of that site affected sep11memories.org through the alias. Which means that we can no longer reach him through his @wolfmountaingroup.com email. 1- http://www.pcworld.com/article/112756/spam_slayer_doublespeak_in_the_spam_wars.html _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
