Most of those still work (although their destionations are sometimes blocked)
also, most of those seem to point few repeased sites.

Just FYI the oldest spample I see is from 2024/09

I have kept scores somehow lower, so I can see what spam goes around.
So i can keep to report them etc.


I repeat - every time I send a complaint to address found in ToS of 
rebrand.ly where the "https://rb.gy/" points to, I get response that the 
link hasn't been found.

for some time I automatically forward it to their 
escalation address, but it appears that they don't remove those links, 
although both spamming and sexual content are against their ToS.

I am now thinking about explicitly banning these links, so the SMTP message 
says that.

I was curious if anyone has the same experience with rb.gy or other 
rebrand.ly domains.
