Yes, I have come to the same conclusion.  My russian is not that good,
but that URL does not look very malicious to me.  The fact that it
appeared in a mail from a real contributor to U-Boot[1] also backs this
fact.  Well ok, the patch was for an old U-Boot, but still, it's a real
patch ;)

It seems that the sypris people have a very misconfigured filter
software with questionable filter rules.  I'm waiting for an answer from
their postmaster.

Cheers
