You can send it to yourself. Newer versions of SA allow this as it
doesn't pollute the auto-whitelist as it used to. Copy the string on
that page into the body of an e-mail with no spaces using your normal
e-mail client. Just don't train SA on it after it catches it. Use mutt
or another to delete the message from the alternate spam mbox.
