Microsoft spam

I received a spam email from Microsoft today, regarding their bCentral site manager service. The opening paragraph contains unsubscribe instructions — a good thing — but the opt-out URL they give doesn’t work!

SHELL> lynx -head -source http://redir.cq0.net/r/default.asp
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Server: Microsoft-IIS/4.0
Date: Tue, 02 Jan 2001 16:33:49 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Cache-control: private
Now what, Microsoft? Will you tell me this is a feature?
