It just can't be good. More generally, you can get some basic info about site through the McAfee site advisor. Nice tool - you put in a URL (i.e., yahoo.com) and it reports on whether the site does any known bad stuff. Site Advisor also tests email spamming by filling in email sign-in forms on the site and watching for what email comes in as a result. Try out the link.
