Why are some URL's blocked??

Suddenly it is happening a lot that I can not send an URL. WLM is then
saying that it can not deliver the message.
They're just innocent links, like Wikipedia URL's for example.
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitez is refused by WLM to send ....
Why is this? I know MS can be tight assed when it comes to security issues
but this really is overdone.

Nope ... I can send messages just fine ... but when that URL is in the
message, WLM says that it can not deliver that message.

Greetings Menno,

Actually all links were banned from being sent earlier today (problem with the filter). It
should be fine now.
