Technorati Blog Claim - Redirect Problem

I'm not sure if you can help. I am unable to claim my Posterous blog
at Technorati due to a "Redirect Problem." After a little research it appears it may be because when people go to my custom
domain (customdomain.com) you redirect them to
http://customdomain.com/ adding the forward slash.

Has anyone else had issues claiming their custom domain Posterous blog
on Technorati? I have had no success in attempting to contact
Technorati.

I received a message from a Technorati employee via twitter. Basically, this is what they said:

are you trying to claim customdomain.com? That redirects to customdomaincom/?c=1, so you'll need to get a new code & claim the latter.

Posterous, is there anyway for my domain to not forward to "/?c=1" ?

After more correspondence with this Technorati employee, he says the problem is being caused by their claim "bot" being redirected to something similar to posterous.com/sso/verify/17b92353b03fa0... and then back to the customdomain. Therefore, their system sees the domain I'm trying to verify as not really being correct.

They are looking into whether they can help me.

Posterous, is there a way to turn off this /sso/verify/ redirect?
