Having seen a problem URL, it starts with an IP address, not a domain 
name; that is very typical of spammed URLs, so I would say it is almost 
certain that the mail is being spam filtered.

(Spammers are either hijacking a machine for which they don't know the 
domain name or are using a hosting service outside its terms of service, 
so want to make it difficult to trace the hoster and get the site closed 
down.)

Doing this with a dynamic IP address is probably even more likely to 
result in the mail being filtered.
