My feeling is that I should have gotten a 404 page not found error or something rather than this redirection... Anyone know whats going on? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. type URL webmail.sybfun.com 2. hit enter 3. Actual Results: the spoofed "searchportal.information.com" page comes up. Expected Results: not found error
