JP removed from WS, zone files removed from web site
by Jeff Chan 07 Feb '05

07 Feb '05

This is a reminder that we have taken the JP data out of WS and have deleted the WS and SC SURBL zone files form the SURBL web site, as previously announced last week. Here are some relevant parts of those announcements: > We will be removing the data in jp.surbl.org from ws.surbl.org on > February 7th. If you are using SpamAssassin and don't already > have a separate rule for JP, then please add one as described > in the SURBL Quick Start: > > http://www.surbl.org/quickstart.html > > When SpamAssassin 3.1 is released, it will also include a separate > rule for JP. > > If you are using other programs, please check that they are using > JP in addition to the other lists in multi. JP is bitmask > 127.0.0.64 in multi.surbl.org and it has a relatively high spam > detection rate and low false positive rate, so it's definitely > worth using. More information can be found on the Lists page: > > http://www.surbl.org/lists.html > I will be removing the partial set of SURBL zone files (SC and > WS) from the SURBL web site by 7 February 2005. This will mainly > effect users of Roger Eriksson's Windows command script which > downloads the SC zone file using wget then checks SUBRL domains > against message bodies in Declude JunkMail. It should not affect > most other users of SURBLs, since other applications use the > preferred DNS lookups to get SURBL data. This change does not > affect SURBL name servers or name service, nor are any changes > required to them or applications that use their services.

JP data to be removed from WS
by Jeff Chan 02 Feb '05

02 Feb '05

We will be removing the data in jp.surbl.org from ws.surbl.org on February 7th.* If you are using SpamAssassin and don't already have a separate rule for JP, then please add one as described in the SURBL Quick Start: http://www.surbl.org/quickstart.html When SpamAssassin 3.1 is released, it will also include a separate rule for JP. If you are using other programs, please check that they are using JP in addition to the other lists in multi. JP is bitmask 127.0.0.64 in multi.surbl.org and it has a relatively high spam detection rate and low false positive rate, so it's definitely worth using. More information can be found on the Lists page: http://www.surbl.org/lists.html (* Previously JP data was merged in with WS data because SpamAssassin 3.0 was released before a separate rule for JP could be added. Adding them into WS was a way to get the benefits of JP into SA 3.0. But the lists are better separately because they have some differing data sources and types.)
