Spam using .edu domains

I see Joe Manni noticed this as well: Spam (ab)using .edu domains has gone up sharply recently. It seems a spammer or group of spammers have noticed that a lot of abandoned message boards can be found on universities and other educational institutions and are now taking advantage of them, spamming them with redirects to their actual sites and then spamming for the .edu URLs.

So, if you happen to have a website with a .edu address or know someone who has, please check those message boards that you set up and then forgot about - you may be in for a surprise. Manni also put up a list of URLs he found in his spam.
